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...

Keep Up The Brushes!!!
