Saw this oldie. It’s not memorable.

What's this?? You may well ask. I had a lot of pickelhaube and peak caps leftover from past projects (contemptibles, gravelotte) and still more pkts of Scalelink. So I selected these heads to start yet another forlorn project.

Well, I'm inviting hate mail from Napoleonophiles. hahaha. I am doing extended spring cleaning and really turning out the gray collection and pests as well. Came across this olde base which I had made for my Napoleon Sacre but it was too ambitious then. I thought that maybe if I recrafted the...

I realised that I have a lot of horse parts and rejects. And then there were these leftover pith helmeted heads from Omdurman. So I decided to start another project with these. Crazy right? So here's the start already. Hi John, this one is right up your alley.. hahaha. Rgds Victor

Hi All, Im going to start on another diorama. I've gathered some of the starting pieces. Hopefully it will be another interesting foray. Rgds Victor

Hi All, I attended a small modeller's meet in a local shop. Quite good turnout about 50 pax. The theme was on sci fi fantasy. These are some of the pix I took. Rgds Victor

Of course, There were all these wonderful Egyptian documentaries on YouTube. Finally decided to dig out my two figs and the chariot and start from there. This thread is a spin-off of the Merkava thread, in sincere imitation of the numerous spin-offs you get on the entertainment media....hahaha...

I've been meaning to do this figure for ever but the ref was elusive.. I've finally located a reference for this in an old Blandford book on the Imperial Russian Army. It is going to be a conversion of an Artmi figure, not quite as good as Historex Airfix. I'm just using him for nostalgia.

Hi All, In the spirit of sustainable modelling, I am using bits and pieces scoured from my spares for this. The torso was soaked in dettol overnight to remove an old layer of oil paint gunk. So Ive rescued it for the mameluke jacket. Rgds Victor

I'm now starting on two samurai figures. Both produced by Aitna Models.

I got this kit some decades ago but gave up then as it was rather complex. I recently took it out and will work further on it.

Found these beauties and decided to rework them.

I’ve just seen this Hungarian movie about a minor incident in the seven years war. Not a great movie but the costumes especially the hussars, are pretty good. Rgds Victor

This was a kit that I had bought earlier in the year from Vienna. Nice crisp castings. Finally assembling it. The size is closer to 60mm. Now perusing some bkgd material on this empire from some of the books that I had bought.

Some of you will remember this olde fig I made as part of my WW1 collection. Well, Ive always wanted to redo a couple of things with this. The stretcher is too short as contemporary photos will show and the left hand is awkwardly handled. So as a relief from the FPW piece, I decided to do...

Got this vintage set from Werner Scholz. I painted this many years ago and am continuing to improve on it.

This small set was obtained from Berliner Zinnfiguren.

A venerable set from Werner Scholz. Ptg in progress.

Another elegant set from Carl Cortum zinnfiguren.
