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. 

Airfix WWI Female tank

Built as part of a GB at The Airfix tribute Forum. I screwed the steering gear up and decided after several attempts it looked ok without it. Bods from Emhar.

 For fun, One in sepia

David and Goliath

DAVE!!! How many more times !? Slings are NOT toys!!!!!

Crusaders (conversions)

A couple of Airfix bods from the Sherrif of Nottingham set and one from the Italeri Crusader set with a Zvezda peasants head.

Teutonic Knights (Italeri)

These I painted up as part of a group build at Bennos (see here). The idea was to either paint the whole set or just the nine poses. Alterations / conversions were allowed as long as it was within the set ie; no extra bits, nags, bods etc from other sets. I changed all the spears for ones made out of Florist wire and the raised patterns on shields and nags were removed and replaced by printed emblems.
I decided to have them in a desert setting as I have another 30 plus Crusaders etc based as if in the desert and I wanted to add these too them. Anyway...I don´t stick to history when I dont feel like it :-)

What make are these???

Both lots came in a mixed lucky dip bag of mixed 1/72nd WWII bods.
I have looked at PSR etc but can´t find them anywhere.

I thought these might be Atlantic but no. The one on the left is carrying a shell and they all seem to be part of a gun team???

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

A happy new year.!!!!  :-D
Thanks to all of you who have looked in, made comments and are following this little blog. I hope to see you all well and active next year...Cheers Paul

Both looking a bit worse for wear eh??? :-)

ACW Gun emplacement

A little dio using Atlantic and Airfix bods to represent  confederates preparing a gun position.
Happy new year :-D

  

Young knight

Well...Troubadour actually. :-)  Another of Alex´s great sculpts.
I have a feeling that I have seen this bod before...in fact I may know him personally.;-)

Still needs basing as he will be used in a large project I have in mind, involving about 2 - 300 other bods.

Old Knight

A Valdemar bod...metal...not my favourite material to paint for some reason but I learnt a little trick with this one. The metal areas I didn´t paint..just rubbed them up (ooer madam) with the tip of a toothpick :-)

Wenceslaus

My representation of  Wenceslaus I (c 907 - 935  ) Duke of Bohemia  ( see here for more info  )
He is created from the Italeri Crusaders set...the cloak is from ....yep! Toiletpaper :-) His flag is copied from the web and then resized and printed.
