Just rebased with wall putty and painted the groundwork for these figures. All done in batches.

I had bought this WWI scottish figure from Portobello mkt. The pipes are missing and the right hand is slightly awkward. I'm just comparing it to another earlier piper which I had converted as well.

I took apart this WWI piper, removing the two hands. The left hand with pipes was trimmed and refitted to the front of the body.

The right hand was actually a left hand, cut and adapted to act as a right hand. This right hand was bent to fit under the left hand. A small nail was fitted to the right hand.

If y scrolled backwards to an earlier post, you might notice a 5th lancer bass horn player in the background. This was an original sculpted and homecast piece that I had made many years ago. I have placed it on a wooden base to stabilise the piece. I have decided to also improve on this figure. Hence, the piece is being cleaned up of its mould lines and I am adding putty here and there.

Finished painting Philip the Bold. Now cleaning up the base.

Here's the pic of the piper's right hand, drilled and assembled.

I added some groundwork to the following figures.

I found two gladiatorial figures and decided to pair them up on a suitable round base. The sword is missing and I'll see what I can do about straightening the trident.

Looking at my puny 1/35 Dragon German soldier, I've decided to upscale him and arm the figure with 1/32 Airfix ordnance. Hence he is now a young Hitler Jugend figure. The picture shows the difference in size between 1/35 and 1/32. I'll also substitute an Airfix helmet for this figure.

The head for the 1/35 scale Dragon WWII figure has been substituted.

Putty repairs made to the 5th lancer bandsman.

The picture of an MG42 is attached for ref. It looks like the Dragon model gun is of better proportions than the Airfix model. So I will modify the Airfix gun.

I added groundwork and grass flock to all the figures using white glue. Here is a selection.

Finished Philip the Bold and near completion of a Roman Officer, EK casting.

Added more details to the Roman general

Painted the Crow Medicine Man. An old modified Tir Na Og resin casting from Canada.

As can be seen on my other threads, busy busy. I painted the titles for these figure bases to get back into a painting mode. I'll probably repaint the English Longbowman as well later.

More figure bases painted. Got to retouch Victor Hugo's coat. The German Arquebusier was painted many years ago and I've only just painted the base title now. May retuch the painting later.

Marshal Canrobert joins the painted ranks. Meanwhile, here's a Chota Sahib FFL figure painted many years back which I am touching up.

I've refurbished the FFL figure.
