I met Melvyn Hayes once a few years ago on the Isle of Wight Ferry as he lives on the island. He took the time to chat with me for a while and put the world to rights. I found him a thoroughly decent fellow. Nice work on the two figures and a great tribute.

A huge thanks to everybody.
I've taken the scary leap and started the painting.

What's not to like here, it's just great looking forward to see it finished

Feeling a lot of pressure to get this one right.
Painting began proper now. And my crib sheet.

Got back to working on my private.

Hi Razor...as i wrote before about your bomb project figures......i love so much your works on british soldiers......and your trasformation.....about this project could you say me if the cap of sgt. pepper is a your sculpt or commercial item? and the photoetched post on hats of which firm are they???

You realize a really masterpiece on Pepper..in fact in first moment when i saw this figure on market dont appreciate so much.....(usually i bought all resin british soldiers on market...at least) but now, after your trasformation.....i think i ll buy it!!!!!

Interesting also the way in which you used the Revell figure hat (ex icm figures kit???),and i loved too the way in which you try to realize the tommy with accordion......incredible use of this wee friendshipmodel figure.....(but before this figure what have in his right hand???)
I follow you work in future and please, say me where i could see other your works on british soldiers....they are very inspiring for me!!!

ps: the Hornet figure with slouch hat is very fine indeed!!!!!

Congratuletions.

His beret is from the Miniart British officer set, I think the cap badge was sliced off an old Hornet head. The weefriends figure was holding a tank shell.


my other figures can be found on here, in my wip section.

Hi Razor.......i follow your idea and want buy the Revell kit to use the slouch hat with Hornet heads.........but i saw that icm realize a similar kit to Revell one......cod.35685......at least the box has the same image......do you know samething about that???? The figures are the Same???

Bye bye and thanks.

Too the best of my knowledge the 2 kits are the same, I used the Revell kit as that' s the one my local shop had.
There are plenty of good reviews online with pictures.

still a couple of touch ups needed, but about done on the first figure.

Nice work on the private.
Looking forward to him getting g.b.h. of the 'lug-hole', when they come together.

Cheers,
Andrew

Looking good, I'm looking forward to the finished product.
