Now working on the last two elements to be added to this scene. A badly sculpted British soldier and a shako.

Also decided to work on Pully. Ptd more. I hope to adjust on the errors as I proceed.

I improved the horse neck. The thighs of Junot are rather chunky. I also didnt like the lace details engraved. Comparison with a typical historex figure shows the diff. Decided to file off the legs and reshape them to better proportions.

I took out this small set as well to carry on... (up the Khyber Pass.....groan!).

A very pleasant ptg excursion so far. I use an old book for ref "Life in Ancient Egypt by Adolf Erman Dover Press". Like an encyclopedia. Some of the info may be dated but so are these vintage zinnfiguren sets. Most of these Egyptian women used henna in their hair and body. Their headdress...

i got this set sometime back and had doodled it to this stage. i hope to do more with it.

just going thru my unfinished projects. came across qe2 and decided to take it further. painted with oils and i changed the horse to black burma. it started as a w britains figure but i switched a historex horse for the queen. ill hv to wait for the paint to dry to fill in the obviou gap on the...

Ive worked more on the horse neck. also converted one of the legs. i also figured out why some of the pics get slightly distorted when i resize them. i figured it out by the 3rd pix....

i removed the horse neck and used a wire to fashion a new one. I may convert the front leg. The mtd figure has some nice details. I drilled out the neck on the torso and substituted a wire for Junot's neck. Reattached at a slight angle.

i had bought this kit in Vienna. A very limited production by AC Bohm. It does have a lot of parts and was reasonably priced. It looks like a toy soldier -model solder hybrid so Ill see if I can improve on it. I didnt like the horse head and I removed it for now before assembling the two...

hi steve and louis, thx for your always gracious comments. ive added another ladder with figs. also another lot of tinier figs in the dark recess. ive added some airfix french inf to the other side, the pics were overexpose to show the dark tiny figs.

i took this pix at night again. This is the dawn gloom firelit effect that I want!

I trimmed down the height of the left wall by abt 2 cm. Made 2 more ladders with climbing figs. Made up a crowd scene. All these were ptd dark and all the figs were given a dark wash to simulate the dawn gloom. I took this top down pix to show the intended perspectives when after I frame the...

here's the light source attached and the proposed scene crop.

added the two ladders. added some airfix HO/OO french infantry to the right bkgd. then added cotton smoke as per the scene. added the light source. almost done. just have to add the final figs. the smoke really creates this chaotic scene.

i completed 2 ladders, one with smaller figs. Tried a light test to create a dramatic effect. Also did a test crop of the frame.

I feel like I’m being lured down this rabbit hole...hahahahahahha

i made some ladders and posed some wargames figs. Then tested the visuals.

and of course cleopatra. these pix show my depiction of a heavily made up woman with obvious allure...hahaha.

emperor vespasian. converted from a cafe storme/mokarex julius caesar fig. i used the historex David nude head and resculpted the face. also rebuilt the tunic.
