I trimmed off a couple of flow channels to the horses' hooves and changed the skin tone of the figs after looking at pics of Mughal miniature paintings. I believe that the Editor was Rieger Zinnfiguren.

Hi Rich and Julie, I had posted earlier about the new format. Totally unfounded. I'm still not that familiar with the new format but I think you are doing a great job in ironing out the glitches. I find that adding pics to my posts are easier with this new format. Thanks for this website...

I built up the base a bit more. Decided that I need to increase the box depth to accommodate the base. So I added an insert (white) that came with the IKEA frame. Added some putty to these figs.

Hi Steve, Thanks for yr input. I wasn't sure that this thread was posted as there was a glitch. Probably on my end as the new site format is still unfamiliar to me. I should have posted this thread under painting. Good to know that the usual to and fro banter is more or less there, even with...

Hi Steve, Thanks for your most generous remarks. I'm just waiting to put a cropped frame to complete this scene. Rgds Victor

Small set bought from Wilken Zinnfiguren. I've started to ptg it. I saw a lot of religious paintings during my last European trip.

I took out a suitable box and fitted a base into it.

I've just posted some threads with attachments. I do miss the likes or who's watching tags. The threads and posts seem empty if nobody replies to a post. Rgds, Victor

Almost completed this sunken ship.

Got these two sets probably from Wilken Zinnfiguren. Dance of Salome and The Wisdom of Solomon. The former has John the Baptist's head served on a platter.

Got this set sometime back and had started to doodle on it.

Added some yellow to various parts. Coincidentally, my daughter is in Poland now and just visited this Palace!

Started on the first few figures. I really enjoy working with various spares and free sculpting.

I also found an old ICM kit with 3 intact pickelhaubes. Very suitable for this! I also found an old WWI conversion just fallowing away. He will be used here.

added the bkgd fig to the scene.

Slight change to horse rear leg as well. Notice how I built up the historex leg with putty.

I had bought this excellent set many years ago. I wasnt sure what colours to apply until I came across this ptg by Josef Brandt. So will start on this piece soon.

I finally decided to embark on yet another improbable quest. I wont tell you which ptg this is based on. It will become obvious as I plod on. I gathered all the obvious headdress kepis and pickelhaubes from various sources, all backed by another tray of spares for French 1870-WWI periods and...
