Now that Ive done with the 21st lancers at Omdurman and Badajoz, I took out this oldie and cleaned up the dusty components. I seem to have been stumped by a few chokepoints - the bkgrd walls, the Lazarus figure group etc.

Ive worked more on the base. Now cutting down the wall heights.

I had bought this fig when I was in Spain. Just examining it as I was clearing out some shelves. It has some flaws which need correcting. The fig leans a little to the left side. The shield is too neatly printed and I cant make out the markings. Legs look a little stumpy. The figure hands dont...

Thanks John. As can be seen, I had to crop a higher vantage viewpoint to create this dramatic visual perspective. The high frame also masks the varying differences in sizes between the lower level figs and the upper level figs. Rgds Victor

I rearranged a couple of shelves. I moved most of the unfinished projects to another section.

I added the falling shako, added the final smoke effects and finally added the cropped frame. I finished this off with a brass label and took the final nighttime lit scene pics. Thanks again for following this thread. Rgds Victor

Hi All, I finally added a brass name plate to this piece. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoyed this thread. Rgds Victor

I tk that this set is from Hafer Zinnfiguren. Ive never seen it ptd and spent some time to carefully render the colours I want.

Ptd more on this set. I move the completed pieces to the top so that the ptg can continue on pieces below.

Worked mostly on developing the base proportions.

Hi David, another useful source for 1/32 furniture is S&D Models. https://www.sanddmodels.co.uk/products_32.htm Rgds Victor

Added wires and hands to some of the key figures and starting to shape them.

Update on this set.

Here is an update on this set.

Tx Paddy for your comments. These sets are just delightful and make great ptg exercises. I ptg in oils and am rediscovering the joys oif using liquin as a ptg medium. Liquin promotes the smooth application of the oils when compared to using only turpentine to wet the brushes.

I changed the orientation of the side wall structure and raised the base elevation to angle it downwards towards the front. Then added some putty. I also added a pistol to one of the figures and shaped them a bit.

Got this set many years ago. Just doodling with it for now.

Got this set many years ago. I will darken the skin tones.

Got this exquisite set many years ago. I think that Cortum moulds have been redistributed.

Came across this fallow set. Cant find the bkgd - it will probably turn up...hahaha. I've decided that the colours need to be brightened up first.
