American Militia ( Minutemen ) Fig.2

     Before my next Airfix project ,(witch will be "British Commandos" set ), I decided to proceed
with this project with some more figures... I have finished one and I have three more primed and ready...

 

    These figures are from Accurate "American Militia" set and you can see some details below.

 





 

       Historical: Those troops where also called "Minutemen" because they where civilians ready to form a group and get to the fight within a minute after receiving a message! Highly skilled in weaponry and strategy they where one of the most important forces during the war for revolution!

   I really like those figures , they have excellent detail and historical accuracy! I 've been  inspired this one by these drawings here..

   This is my first flowered base and I'm not 100% satisfied... I'll do my best with the next one :)

Here are the next three to come....

Thank you for visiting my blog!

 I hope you like the post and being inspired!

Airfix WW2 "British Paratroops" 1:32 (or fight with the clock)

Hi there,
       after a long time I decided to test my painting time capacity with a mass (not so mass) painting.
 I painted this set in 12 hours ( in five days!) and fighting with the clock I tried to be as more detailed
 as I could, so that the figures could reach a nice standard.... So,  it is about 2 hours per piece for full
 treatment...( mould clearing, washing, priming, painting , varnished and base making..).
    I know that, time is a relevant value to discuss, but I would like to have your opinion about the,
"time vs quality" issue for these figures..

      About the figures, this is another one of the famous "Airfix" WW2 sets and normally it has seven different poses. During priming,  I've realized that I've left one pose out by accident, so this is not the full set...

     Unfortunately ,once again, I forgot to take some pics during the procedure...Only this one..

Here are some more pictures to enjoy..

Thanx for stopping by and I hope you've been inspired somehow!

Matchbox - WW2 British Infantry Part 5

Hello and a Happy New Years Eve to everyone!!

      I hope you already had a nice and Happy Christmas!! Now, in the middle of vacation time..
(witch is something that I don't have, cause of the yearly counting in my job...) I decided to close
2017 with three more figures of the British Infantry project !! ( Only the 2 Officers left to be
 painted now.!).
     I haven't decide yet if white background is better than a dark one for this type of figures so I
take photos booth ways and I would like to have your opinion about that matter...
  

Once again I wish a Happy New Years Eve to anyone and , may 2018

 be lucky and prosperous to you and your families!!

   

Till next year...Keep up the brushes!!
