Airfix Waterloo French Artillery

Another set of Airfix bods and the last artillery set  (from purely figures sets that is)The uniform blue looks a bit bright and I´ve been informed that grey horses wouldn´t have been used to pull gun carriages. What really worries me though is how do those nags survive with big wooden stakes stuck in one side of them!!? ;-D

Airfix Astronauts

I don´t know about you but having all those visors looking at me gives me the creeps :-D

Medieval Wine Merchants

Again with kind permission from Alex a set of Wine merchants. These will first come out in Resin, later in metal and will be available from Valdemarminiatures.

Just look at the face on that guy...brilliant!!

Someone looks happy with his job  :-D

Archers and stakes (Zvezda)

Did these pair for a bit more variety on the battle field.

Curved Air (Stampe SV4C from heller)

I got it into my head to make the plane on this this album  At first I thought it was a Gypsy Moth on the cover,  but after asking about on a couple of forums,  I was told it was a Stampe SV4C. Then I asked where I could get one and one really nice guy said he had one but it was a bit broken and I could have it for free if I wanted. I would like to say yet again what a generous act that was and I am endebted to him for helping me to realise my project.

 And this is what she looked like when I received her :-D Fuselage snapped, both wings broken in two, a lovely restoration!!!

Welcome Steve from  Paintsplats. A great painter and sculptor of some very original subjects

Caeser Mitannian Mariyannu Chariot

Great name eh? Try saying that when you´ve had a few :-D ( looks like it´s chariot week here )

Scratch built Celtic Chariot

Tried to make a copy of the model of a celtic chariot in the celtic museum in Hallein, Austria.  It isn´t a 100% sucess but near enough.
The horses are from airfix as is the driver. the "beserker" is from the Italeri Celtic cavalry.

Celtic Chariots (Hät)

I got these when they came out little knowing that Hät had changed to the new soft plastic. This meant that every part of each chariot was bent to some degree and it took a bit of work to get everthing looking correct. I added reins and rein guides to the yolks.

Teutonic Sergeants (Italeri)

I just love these guys :-D

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
