Hopefully there will be some pictures attached to this post, via a programme (free) that I downloaded. These are almost ready for painting.

Looks great, Paul. I take it this is some sort of assault by Gurkhas in your usual 1/35 scale?

Before I bashed my finger I was trying to make some scenery. A street scene of houses, rubble, debris and bodies. I intend to display my tanks on it so I can take some nice pictures!

indeed, they look great! I like the last one, the fur on the coat looks nice.
Are they completely scratch built?

regards, Kieffer

Really nice figures, are you going to cast them?

As for me, I'm building Mother - super corrected.

Still figuring out the dio,but on the figure painting side I have bought some "washes" from the Games Workshop and they are brilliant,highly recommended. If you want more info I will write again.

Thanks for the comments everyone, yes they are my preferred 1/35 scale and they are only conversions of some Tamiya figures I had from many years ago(recycle everything these days). Apart from the standing figure who is ex-Verlinden. The "raid" is loosely based on a French poster I saved whilst browsing and I do mean looselysmile At the moment I am still a "dyed in the wool" enamel and oils painter but may just try some acrylics ashamed I've had a set of Vallejo's since Christmas and still not opened them !!!

Hello Paul, very creative work on show there, thanks for sharing. I will follow this with interest.

Did you really sculpt the puttees from rolled stripes of putty?? imslow.gif

No I'm afraid their putee's are made of simpler stuff smile strips of masking tape superglued in place, and when painted it gives them some texture. All head-dress is sculpted and one or two other details, the rest is a mix of plastic card/strip and some sprue. the kukhri's are from Dragon( via a donation from a guy on another forum) and the rifle is Ultracast I think, with lead foil strap.

Thanks for the explanation Paul, a very clever solution for the puttees - but too fiddly for my favorite scale 1/72 I'm afraid. confuse Anyway keep up the good work!
