Completed Yankees. The good guys wore blue.t

[Briggsy]

They are inexpensive and fair quality. Will make a nice vignette.
Just sayin'...

David, I have the ICM French from the Franco-Prussian War that I plan to do a small vignette with, at some stage.

Cheers Simon

Liking the subtle shading on the trousers. Works well.

Dropped the ceramic tile this morning.
Pallet is now a lot smaller.
Anyone got a spare…….? !

Hi David

Figures looking good , hopefully this will be completed before your travels begin

Tiles are cheap enough , don't you know a builder who might have some or get a wet palette perhaps

I’m sure I can find one.
Left my old job where we had a box of them in the tool room (where this one came from; should’ve taken two).
I use enamels so wet palette is no good, sadly.

 

[David Spencer]

My parents had a tile, bless 'em!
All sorted again until the butter fingers kick in once more.
In the meantime, an accesories set from MiniArt arrived, to go with the forthcoming 1914 French Zouaves project

And the (Franco-Prussian War) painting that prompted the idea.

David, that looks like a nice project, will be interested to see this one in the making. Only trouble with this though is both side wore blue!! How you gonna tell who the good guys are?

Cheers Simon

Oops no realised my blunder, you said WWI, I was thinking Franco Prussian, D'Ho!

Hi David

That's a good set of figures and accessories for the new project

Look forward to that and careful of the new tile

[David Spencer]

It's done. Came out okay, but nothing to write home about.
It'll be joined by another when time allows.

Le deuxième soldat est commencé...

 

[David Spencer]

None of these figures are likely to warrant a "completed" thread. So I'll keep the "work in progress" one going ad-nauseum and post the final project in "dioramas".
Hopefully it will be worth the wait.
(Off to the US soon, so will either be oozing, slug-like, with inspiration afterwards, or saturated with the subject, and start the rather smart 54mm medieval geezer in the cupboard).

 

[Briggsy]

Nice figure, sounds like you're working towards a good finished product, stick with the recent history though!

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

They'll get done eventually.

Really looking forward to seeing how the set come together as a scene. As I said before, the possibilities with these figures really surprises me. They are far nicer pieces than I originally thought they would be.

 

[David Spencer]

Thay ain't bad. For the price, you get nice pieces with plentiful accessories (and we should ALL accessorise, darling!).
Clearly aimed at vignettes and dioramas.
Not as good as individual figures (that cost more), but ICM produce a very interesting range (WW1 in numbers I haven't seen before) and I like to support a Ukrainian company.

Hi David

Good to see the second figure , nicely put together

Look forward to seeing more liking the diorama idea

Have fun at the bench and in USA

[David Spencer]

Thanks.

Strips of soft metal attached - with some difficulty - as straps. Much trimming still to do.
