quote="Mat Lambert, post: 787120, member: 5288"]There are so many great paintings that would be spectacular to see as models - would make a great thread - but where would we stop? Cheers Mat[/quote]


stop dead at "When did you last see your father"

Hi folks I am struggling to get my photos up sorry.
I shall have another go this evening

Paul

Longs its only your photo's at your age you got nothing to worry about, just keep trying we are all waiting in antisepation .

Mate you must be off your rocker to attempt this - but I'm glad you are though mate.

I wish you all the best with the project and hope that your obvious enthusiasm for the subject continues through. This may be your biggest enemy. If that does happen, let us know and we'll help pull you through.

You must see the retreat from Moscow painting in Manchester art gallery if you haven't already. You'll see a few parts of it that have been made into figures you'll recognise. Just didn't want to be outdone by a scouser!

Pugh I love your sentiments and thoughts mate, thank you...
I do plan to pop over for a bit of culture vulturing again,
I enjoy Manchester, but not people calling me English .


Will you be able to get to the Crewe show 28th Feb?
I shall be working on it on the Kitmaker UK British Bulldogs stand .

Paul

Cheers Mate, in a bit, just home and need some scoff.

Kevin...... Dahling....... Legs are to be admired not pooh pood.

And finally how I build Historex horses.
Basic kit.
View attachment 228949
attach the provided base to one body half.
View attachment 228948
cut off the excess of base and file or sand the protrusions back flush with the body and blend in the body to the neck with some putty and sand smooth.

hope this gives you more of an idea of the work underway.

I have now started building the Emperor's coach. An absolutely superb model kit with wonderful detail.
When put together, the wheels can turn and the front articulates to turn corners.
All in plastic. Amazing.

Happy modelling

Paul.

Wtf ?
Sorry trying again
Grrrrr

The assembly process is moving along very nicely Paul,however I would'nt want to be in your shoes painting this lot,this is going to be a Monumental painting challenge and one that will test your resolve I think,I wish you all the very best with it

Great progress Paul. It's looking really good in grey let alone when you have it painted,
Some challenge but I know that you are up to it.
Cheers
Keith

Man that is daunting
You'll be buying blue and white paint buy the gallon to do up all those Crapauds.
Kevin must have had a conniption seeing all those legs at one time

Hold Fast
