Airfix Waterloo " British Horse Artillery" 1:72 Diorama

 

Hello everyone! My best wishes for a Happy Healthy and Creative 2022!!

   Last post for this year and I would like to end up 2021 with a project I did this summer and never posted here. This is another 1:72 diorama but with the figures on it this time.

 

   The figures are from the Airfix 1:72 " Waterloo British Artillery" set. This set comes to me with some missing poses and bits but the final outcome was quite good. The box is stated as HO/OO scale but the figures are close to 1:72 scale. Later issues were corected as 1:72.

  

Here are some references for the uniform and equipment that I used for this project.

 

      Some pictures during the procedure will follow, though I missed some parts...

     At first the base making . I've used some expanding foam spray for that covered with wood plaster 

 

 

 

 ....unfortunately I didn't take pictures of the rest of the flocking and basing  ..

...and here are some from the finished figures and horses

testing the set up....

.....and finaly the result finished flocked , glued and varnished..

One year a go , I wasn't much of a small scale fan. I cannot tell that right now...

I have worked on some 1:72 projects these last year and I have concluded that this scale is quite addictive and great to work with...Also very handy for collectors as it takes way less space than my favorite 1:32. I have already started to keep some sets for my collection...When I will find the time to paint them is another big story.....

That's all for this year. One more year that I stay behind my goal for this blog regarding to posting frequency...Wishing to correct this in 2022!!

Happy Health and Creative New Year!!!!

'till next time...

Blog's Ressurection for 2021 - Back on track!!

       Being very busy all these months I have left blogging in second ( maybe way lower) place in my priorities and I have just realised that it's been more than 6 months without a post here...

      Shame on me! ..I was thinking...

     Thanks to my good friend Curt and it's annual competition ( Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge),    in which I will happily take part, I 'v been motivated to start uploading some posts trying to catch up for 2021 and some of my work that has been done all this time. 

    In this post I will present some of the projects for which I wont make a full post. I hope I will cover some of the rest till the end of the year..( very optimistic...hahaha)

 

   So , let's start with a bunch of the classic WW2 Airfix US Infantry  1:32 scale. 

 

Painted in my simple High Standard for a commission. Here is one one the painting table.

Some more WW2 figures that I have done this time will follow.

Here is Rommel from Matchbox Afrika Korps 1:32 set.

and also the classic Airfix German Infantry officer....

 

...and some German mountain troops 1:32 . Some of them are from the Afrika Korps set painted as Mountain trooper. No big difference on the uniform or equipment.

Also some mountain Troops painted as Austrian WW1 Infantry.

An interesting and matching conversion I would say..

 

 

 Then we have some "A Call To Arms" 1:32 British Grenadiers..

I will stop here at the moment, but there are a lot more figures and projects to be displayed here. 

So, renewing my date for the next week with some more or a complete post for a project..

'Till next time...
