All twenty plus an "Irregular" woman for scale |
And that's it for another week and for all that I've finished these figures I do feel that I haven't done that much, considering they were very close to being finished at the start of the week.
The next week will see me cutting bases for the "Perry" ACW Zouaves, gluing the figures together (ugh) and mounting on bases. Additionally I received an extra command sprue from a chance visit to Ebay , maling me a very happy bunny!
To me, these plastic figures feel very flimsy, unlike solid metals that only lose their bayonets and swords ! Time however will be the test as whether they are fit for purpose or not.
Thanks for taking the time to visit, hopefully there was to tweak your interest and of course your comments, witticisms, critiques, bouquets and brickbats are always welcomed and appreciated.
These look great Joe, and will fit in perfectly with the other completed ones. Wouldn't be so hard on yourself as the finishing details can be the most time consuming, especially painting in blocks, lost count of the number of times I've missed a simple detail on half the models I'm working on
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, the final picture shows all twenty figures, so if you didn't notice then they obviously do fit in well.
DeleteI hav problems not just with small details, but also flash/mold lines too a lot of which only manifest themselves when undercoated or already being painted
(Don't know why my first reply disappeaed, but this is my second attept)
Nice work Joe, another great batch of warriors.
ReplyDeleteThanks MJT, took some time but I got there.
DeleteMore great work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal, much appreciated.
DeleteWell I think they look fine! I'm with you on the faff of building plastic figures and while easier (softer) than lead there is so many mould lines and like you I only see them when I'm painting them!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain, despite the problems I have woth plastics (and by the sound of it.I'm not the only one), they do have several good points, I like th idea that conversions are far simpler and being able to mix and match various sets together had its benefits.
DeleteThey look great Joe, now ship them off to Jimland :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Frank they are already in the Jimland staging area, ready for deployement to the field, erm, Jungle.
