Hi Guys and Gals I am excited my figures came today from China via Ebay a full fortnight early

I have got 5 packets and each packet contains these figures

.

I have changed the bonnet on the Dozer as it was too narrow I think it still is but thats the best I can do.

I thought I would make this a non sexist dio and will be having a woman driving the Dozer.

Hi Guys and Gals have started painting the Dozer

thats the base coat

dont know what to do with the tracks (only built one tank and that was in mud) no idea what to do with road going tracks. Do I highlight a lot of silver where the Tar has worn the rust off, would they still be muddy, I dont know any help here please.

That looks superb mate, you have nailed that dozer-great work. The tracks would be rusted in the grooves and silvered where they have travelled on the road.

Hi all another update I have started doing the scaffolding.

I have put the video camera in there just to give an idea of the look I have not finished the Panavision 35 mm camera yet.

the previous pic shows the start of the Panavision camera and the difference in size to the video camera.

the tracks are off the Dozer as I am attempting to weather them.

Loads more to do there is the lighting, chopping up the figures to get them in the right position, details in the loading bay, got to do something with the Tar Mac. The list seems to keep growing all the time.

I like it, really taking shape now. Go and get some cheap fine-grade sandpaper sheets, stick these down and spray or paint, it will look like tarmac, use another piece of course paper to rub some holes in it that will look like wear/potholes.

looking real good Kp, liking it a lot ,beginning to take shape,

you have done a good job cutting down the cat as well, and these figures look ok as well,

may i ask what scale are they ? because im always trying to find cheap figures

[Guest]

really like this!

Wish i had enough skill to do something like this

[Guest]

Thanks Si Moni the figures are 1/24 they are from ebay I think they were £11.90 something like that (not great on detail )but there are 50 of them and I am sure with your figure skills you could improve that, I think overall good value for money.

Tone we all started somewhere and I am not that good you should checkout some of Si and Moni's stuff.

ta Kp, thats great value for money, are you have a few dead one about ?

oh boo after cheap 1.35

[Guest]

yes sorry about that they are 1/24 i think its a model train scale thats why they all look like rail passengers.

[Guest]

Hi Moni just did a quick search 1/35 figures are really pricy hobby easy have a good selection ranging from £8.99 EACH unbelievable to £7.99 for 6 don't know what the postage costs would be.

another update

I have chosen the figure to be Moochie will need some fattening up and shortening also needs a Hoodie but it's the best in the bunch of figures I have

also made some progress on the Panavision camera

not sure how i am going to clamp it to the scaffolding yet but will no doubt figure something out.

[Guest]

Ok Guys and Galls this is my worst subject so be gentle with me here is my first set of figures for the dio sorry in advance I know they will let everything else down but Its the best I can do.

like I said sorry.
