Last Ditch

[Jack L]

Morning Jack - the increase in rubble is looking good :thumb2:

One thing to consider - there is a lot of red brick rubble but the walls are all grey :thinking:

Thanks Simon...the third floor of the building was red brick...hence more red rubble than grey.

The building was origonally destroyed by allied bombing months earlier, so subject to some level of civilian clean up. When the front lines drew closer, the clean up was abandoned, and more damage suffered as the ground fighting arrived In the area.

Going back even further in the buildings history, the Architect was actually only 12 years old, and had no prior experience in building design. It was a small miracle that anyone actually used the plans and built the place. Fairly bizarre that the house lasted long enough to be bombed

Was going to say the first two candidates are ready to go in...but after uploading the photo I just realised I have not finished with subject no.2's helmet. I find figure painting tough (and often frustrating) so has taken me about a week to get these two to this stage, and a couple more at the half way point. I am ignoring the 'White Walker' eyes...

for someone who 'struggles' you've done a pretty decent job of those figures-especially the camo
top job :thumb2:

Nice one Jack!

Excellent work.
Re the figures. They look fine, and in any case are not meant to be viewed that close. Unless one is of a persuasion to zoom in to try and find fault of course.

Thanks again Ron.

Mojo quite high today, so another couple done. Five more to go, although that number may reduce.....

I may address the standing fellow's trousers...those highlights looked ok in real life...magnified looks like a 5 year old has been at them.
Need a matt coat, but will wait for everyone to be ready.

Great work Jack. The figures, especially the the camo, look great.

Jack, just found this and must say it's great. That gun looks real in those first photos. Building is coming on well, enjoying this immensely.

Looks cracking to me....figures are excellent....88 is magnificent, and the setting works really well.

[Jack L]

Thank you for all the comments, Bob, Peter, John, Jason and Tim, certainly helps keep the Mojo going!

Looks like your having a lot of fun with this one Jack. It's turning into something really special. Keep up the great work

Thanks Steve.

The cooler weather seemed to improve the mojo today, and managed a couple of figures. Really quite pleased with these two, especially the ammo carrier. Used a magnifier for the first time, so maybe that was the difference.


Also in something quite different, did a couple of figures for the train Dad is building. White metal in about 1/48, and also quite pleased in how they cam out.

[Guest]

You're right to be pleased Jack. These are all excellent.

[Tim Marlow]

Good job Jack.

[Jason Crausby]

Top notch figures Jack.... just catching up now!
