    I am always fascinated to see how these old kits stand up in the present day. Yes, to some extent the detailing is soft, but I don't think they disgrace themselves. I reckon the old Airfix horses are pretty damn good as well all things considered and are great for offering conversion donor kits, as they are light and that material is soooooo workable.

    A nice job there old son. I know how it feels to have several almost identical kits on the go and it can be hard not to adopt an assembly-line mentality. You've cleary taken steps to avoid that and this has paid dividends. A job well done.

    Project 10 - "George Washington" – American War of Independence, 1775.
    Started Nov 10th - That Figures Phase.

    All three figures are now done. Time to think of a base. A simple one. A very very simple one ;-)

    Finally done. Three vintage Airfix models from the 70's in a small and simple vignette. Kudos to my brother-in-law, shipbuilder Jan Vandamme, who hand-made the classic base for me. It still needs a plaquette, but you get the general idea. Thanks for watching. Comments welcome!

    Thank you Stephan, if by grass you mean the long stalks at the front, I agree with you, and I was actually planning to cut them off. If you mean something else, I'm not sure what you mean :)
