Hi Richard
The little details so often make a model. Great looking little cart and nice work sorting out the pot carrier.

Thanks Jim, tbh I was a bit squimish sanding away her left breast to fit the pot. It had to be snug against her hip.

Cheers,
Richard

Today I got to build up another two more figures. I find this set of MB figures have really natural poses and fit well.



I will be adding shoes on their feet and the rear boy will have shorts and will carry the bucket once I've done the shorts and added the handle.
Just getting the poses ready before puttying and sculpting.

Cheers,
Richard

RE stands for Royal Enfield...I own one with a sidecar

Is it a 'proper' one, or one of the modern ones? Which make of sidecar is it?

Just come upon this Richard.

Superb work. The artistic & imaginative in put is incredible.

Those figures look good, liking the patch on the knee of the child at the back, nice little touch by the manufacturer (pity that it's going in a way!) as you say, they've got some natural poses.

Thanks Gerry, you win some and lose some like the old lady has a great pose pouring contents of a jug into a cup but I needed her to be waiting in a que and hugging a pot. The French living in towns still managed to dress well in Normandy so converting Russian peasants garments unfortunately is also needed. I only hope I get it right.

Hi Laurie, missed your post. Thanks. Just trying a scene that's frequently seen in devastated towns liberated by the Allies but seldom done up.

Cheers,

Nice retro bike Christopher. Looks really “Wallace and Gromit”! Is that front mudguard number plate stand legal though? I thought they were outlawed in about 1974.

Front plates are only 'not required' over here, not illegal (had one fitted to a '79 'semi-custom' for years no problems) not sure about the states rulings on them though.

Richard, I have every confidence that you'll get it right.

Thanks Tim, they all are good in the set. I'm just hoping the rest of the MB civilians are done by the same sculptor or he or she has sculpted for MiniArt.

Cheers,

Gerry, I hope I have your confidence as I have trouble convincing myself at every new build. My fault too cos by the time I finish and start a new one, it's taken so long that I've forgotten what I did at the beginning. The skill is there but the technique needs referral everytime.

Cheers,
Richard
