Minor problem with doing the Sunday roast involving the carving knife and my left hand

I can see that would slow production somewhat. 

You realise, of course, that this means you will be issued with the plastic carving-knife - the blunt version.

Slap some Germolene 'New skin' on Si....Usually works a treat for a 'clean' cut to speed up the healing process.
Cheers - Phil.

Second skin and a wife who is a nurse and Monday isn't so bad 

Haven't ventured onto the Infantry yet but finished off the first of the RFA units as well as the flocking on the "barren featureless desert".  The ones with the Barbed wire etc will get a look at later this afternoon work dependent

OOOH !
I DO like those !
Terrific Si !
Cheers - Phil.

[Hertsblue]

Great work, Si.  Are the shell-cases plastic rod?

[Si Tyler]

I had some spare brass rod in my spares box which saved on the painting 

Plastic rod would work quite well I would imagine and probably cheaper, but I went with what I had at hand.  My German and Russian artillery will be getting the same treatment in the near future

Okay end of World War 1 phase 1 with the completion of the 1916+ British.




This phase has seen from bare metal:

15 Figures in 5 command elements
6 Artillery Pieces and crews
8 Machine Guns

British 1916+
120 Infantry in 10 Battalions
12 Figures in 4 command elements

3 Machine Guns

Phase 2 will start in a couple of weeks.  I am going to delve into some 10mm SciFi and then come back to try and add:
German Cavalry Div (-)
Brigade (-) of British Infantry plus all the Divsional support elements to make a full Division
3 Battalions of Russian Infantry to make a full Division
2 Battalions of German Infantry to make a full Division

After some dalliance with 15mm WOTR I am back to some Great War action.

The 1916+ Brits have had the final infantry battalions complete, 3 Field Regiments added plus some odds and sods have been finished.  Germans have had  a large effort as well and see if I can get some photos on sunday.  

In the meantime

MkIV Male


The Donkeys gather


And the Lions go over the Top with some new Lewis Guns for support scattered across the Battalions


The RFA have had reinforcements as well

[Techno]

Excellent Si !
Cheers - Phil.

[Si Tyler]

The Eastern Front mounted units have had a small amount of attention

HORRIBLE PHOTOS when I put this up.  The white background caused lots of probs so have go back to the brown table mat  
Lets try again

Sorry for messing you all around these should be better.

Wow! Cool figures, I particularly like the horses with the rich colours and lovely highlighting.  Have you used a wash and which one?

[Techno]

Very  .

[Malbork]

Inspiring stuff.  Hope my Germans will look as good when I get them out of their packaging and get to work.

Horses are really great. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Holy moly those are amazing! I'm not sure how I missed those first time round but seriously impressive new lit there sir!
