    I’m up to thirty figures and have only one other to add. I’m going to take a break for today, and begin the process of refining them tomorrow. Then it will be a massive paint-a-thon.

    Hi Matt,
    Truely inspirational and real dedication from concept to now.

    Until you actually attempt something like this on this scale, you will never get a true appreciation of what actually goes in.

    Stick at it Matt and remember when things don't go to plan, it could have always been worse.....it could have been 1/24 scale;).
    cheers

    The very thought of 1/24 makes me want to pass out

    Base flesh, highlight, and shadow airbrushed, with just a little dark shading reinforced by brush. Still have the blush, lips, eyes, five o'clock shadow, etc, to add. Luckily there are quite a few squinty eyes, so there will be some that will squeak through with just a dark slit. Hopefully I can get the faces and hair completely done over the weekend.

    Excellent progress, great line-up, too. I thought I had a lot of figures, not a chance. That's a herd of figures, lol. Ruck On, Matt!

    With luck I’ll finish the officers and aircrew tomorrow, then a dozen more figures of ground crew and fire fighters to go.

    Excellent work, reminds me of a dio made containing a Mossie and a Spit on the pan together with figures and equipment.

    That's one heck of a production line you have there Matt.
    I admire your patience and dedication.
    It's going to be one heck of a diorama.
    I look forward to seeing them all appear in the main scene.

    Cheers,
    Andrew
