Additions for the Falkland's range!

[Leon]

These ones have been sitting in the unit for a while now, so I thought it was about time I got them photo'd and up for everyone to see!  We'll be getting these moulded over the next few weeks hopefully, and might have them ready around Nov time I'd think.

Thanks Will.

Very nice but it looks like the 2" mortar chaps is missing his left arm, or am I missing something .?

He's holding the shell in two hands.

What's the brass rod coming off the top of the mortar for? The only thing I can think of is a feed to make the mould run smoothly.

Yep, he's holding the shell in two hands, and the bit of brass rod you can see is actually the barrel of his rifle, which is slung over his shoulder!  Bad angle for the photo there, apologies for that!

Where's David Bailey when you need him ?

[fsn]

Gurkha's eyes are a bit round aren't they?  And none of the Brits has a moustache! 


These are flippin' brilliant!

I may have to move the Falklands into my list of "acceptable" wars.

Why do lots of the 'greens' have blue hands? Both on these and the Mongols.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

FSN If you look at 'Barrie', he has!

It's a promotional thing, you know, for the movie smurfs 2

Different types of putty being used for different bits of the figure.  Techno can probably explain better than me the reasons behind it.

Hi Fred.
I sometimes use different coloured putties, as I find it easier to see what I'm doing...and also as the different mixes have a different 'feel'...which I find easier to use.....especially on 'small bits' of models.
I mix the blue of 'green stuff' with the 'white' of ProCreate.....It gives a slightly firmer putty to work with.
(I'll also mix the black of PC with the yellow of GS for a similar effect....though I don't find that yukky brown colour as easy 'on the eye'.

I'll also mix Magic Sculp in a 50/50 ratio with other variations of putty to give a really soft working putty, which I find useful for things like fur and hair.

Hope that helps.
Cheers - Phil
