This one got badly shot down in a duel at Bennos.....by Rich´s Revell  Royal Aircraft Factory SE5A.
Still, he had to win a duel a some point :-D

Hello Remco....Thanks for following. You took your time mate :-D 
I like the dollshouse Blog you are following,  Lotjesdollshouse, incredible detail and some good modelling ideas.

David Versus Goliath

"Go on dave...whack it...that´ll shock the lil guy inside!!"

Welcome Amylum...thanks for following :-D

Zvezda Roman Centurion

This guy is from the Zvezda Roman Auxiliary Infantry. 

Medieval Mobile Bakery (finished)

I featured this set from Alex a while back...now I´ve painted it up.

The family group

The bakers "van"

Ready, steady...bake!!!

Scratch built Medieval Mortar

An old feltpen, some Greenstuff, a couple of pins, some thin wire, woodglue and Polystyrene sheet....oh!, and some paint :-D

And the barrel moves!!! :-

OH...and for all of you who are within striking distance...don´t forget it´s Herne this sunday...toy heaven!!

Gremlin

This "thing" comes with the caesers Adventurers set. Exactly what it is supposed to be..I have no idea.

Whose a pretty boy then ! ?

Revell Fokker Dr. 1

I chose not to do the "Bloody Red Baron" colour scheme on this one, I did start but got the brakefluid out and washed it down. The colour scheme is the one used by Leutnant Lothar von Richthofen, Jasta 11, anyway that´s what it says on the box :-D

Airfix Ancient Britons

A good week so far...two sets finished :-D

"Battle taxi" No added extras like reins. 

Airfix Waterloo Highland Infantry

Hurrah!!! Another set done. :-D

Officer and "bandies".  Obviously the noise was too much for one of them and he´s collapsed. The standard bearer..what a pain!!! The bloody flag is so heavy he keeps trying to headbutt the floor and needed a bit of wax under his base.  The original base for the Nag is long gone...a chunk from a broken RHA base has been recomissioned.

Firing line  (a bit  spread out) ...skateboarder on the far left

A .P.U II

Another one...better than this my previous attempt...more armour, more fire power, BIGGER!! It´s been created form one of the battle armour bods that Fran from Angry Lurker sent me.
Replaced one of the covers with a glass panelled cab, cut off both arms and replaced them with multi-barrelled Chainguns (made from Nebelwerfer barrels) ammo belt from tracks from a WWII german Tank.

Caeser Undead

mThese three are some of the opposition for the adventurers. They are the basis for a strange cult called the PURPLE H.A.N.D. HAND..stands for Have A Nice Day. I think they are being cynical...we´ll see.  :-D)

Hello Screaming Eagle. SE´s Blog, Behind My Hedgerow,  is mainly concerned with LOTR bods and gaming with them (good man :-D)

Making Spears/lances

Probably another of those "I already know that" things but maybe..just maybe, it might be helpfull.
I like to make my spears out of metal for two reasons. It takes paint better than broom bristles and if there is no ring hand (or I can´t create one) they can be heated over a candle and "welded" to the bod. It has a disadvantge in that it´s heavy but as my bods all get based, one way or another it doesn´t bother me.

Firstly the tools. From right to left. Pliers (I forgot to add them in the pic)  fine metal file, hammer, an old pair of scissors, 0.8 florist wire, and a hard surface. I´m lucky cos I´ve got this little anvil..(I pinched it from my son...well..he pinched 2 of the robots I got the other day ...so fair´s fair).

Cut of a length of florists wire..a bit longer than the length the spear will end up. Bash the tip flat, ocassionally turning the wire over so that the "spearhead" will end up more or less central to the shaft.

Snip the basic shape of the spearhead. A pair of old scissors  work fine as the metal should be quite thin after it´s beating.

Grip the spear with the pliers as close to the head as possible. If you just hold it in your hands the shaft tends to get bent. Firstly file both flat sides of the head, then round the corners to the edges. I like to file the back of the spear head (the part next to the shaft) to to give the appearanve of it being in two parts, head and shaft. Cut the spearshaft to the desired length..finished :-D

Note. These Things are sharp when finished so be carefull
