Airfix US Paras

A great little set. A good range of poses and virtually no flash to speak of. Fun to paint and they have hardly dated at all :-D

Quick Kilt Painting (all scales)

Bloody expensive stuff  but it works wonders!!!

Livonian Knights (Zvezda)

A nice set that has a lot of scope for conversions, especially amongst the infantry.

At the front is one of the crossbowmen from the set converted to a "turcopole"

Hello Oswulf and Jim :-D
Look at some wonderfully painted Crusaders at Yariks Blog Here

Port life

The "hidden" bods from the Linear-b Roman port set.

Zvezda Triarii

The paint on the shields got a bit...er??...dry as I was painting them and ended up a bit rough looking. My excuse is that  they have been using them for dry hill Punic Tobbogan Racing :-)

Teutonic Master II (Italeri)

You can never have enough Boss bods. This one is an Italeri Tuetonic knight who has had a mild operation, a head swop with the kneeing crossbowman fron the crusader set. The old head I used as his helmet (hanging from the saddle pommel) The nag is also from the crusader set with all those tiny tiny  fluers de lys removed. Cloak as usual from toiletpaper. :-)

And heres a fun thing to do on these winter nights....(no pun intended)...The Pyrrhus Project at History in 1/72nd..

Airfix Nato ground crew

West told me to tell him when I started with 20th centuary bods , so here mate...I´ve started!! :-D
By a coincidence Tim Gow of Megablitz and more posted the Airfix USAAF at the same time. Unlike me, who cheated by using a picture to create a dio, Tim  did a proper job of work and made a dio to go with them.. Tim´s Airfix USAAF Ground crew

Teutonic Grand Master ( Valdemar)

A nice dynamic pose. The Rider (big boss) comes in 3 parts as well as the shield and sword being seperate.

Undead Romans

This mob is meant to be the opposition to the sandriders and have the skellie ellie as their heavy cavalry.
A right ugly bunch...but they have ben "undead" for a few centuries so they won´t be looking thier best. :-)

Zvezda Samurai

Lovely sculpts, lovely looking bods but a complete pain to paint. 

 

I would also like to take notice of the fact that I have now got 100 followers!!!!  and to say thanks to you all. :-D  Makes it all worth while...thanks again. 

After the Sandstorm!!!

Lt Tompkins finally manages to locate Colonel Brashford....

"Don´t just sit there man!!!! Dig!!! The horse under me can´t hold it´s breath forever!!! 

Saracen Camel Rider (Italeri)

One of the better bods in the set. His lance is a bit too short but never mind.
