The Royal Navy at Gold Beach

[Guest]

Ian this looks good are you doing a diorama for this?

[Ian M]

Thanks Andy! I cheated and assembled it last night, so I might have a go at a light use and abuse weathering thin evening.

Adrian; I dont know yet as I have no figures for it and an empty boat bobbing around in the sea......

looking good so far. it looks like a detailed we kit. did it fit together all right? you should defo think about giving the bottom hull of the boat a wee weathering, giving it that sailed in murky water look.

Hi Ian

The camo finish looks great I'm rally looking forward to seeing this finished. BTW I don't know if you know this but there are RN figures available from 'Wee friends' to pilot this thing. They are resin so pricier than plastic figures but if you do want a manned vehicle they might be of interest.

All the best

Thanks Paul, I have been looking at them, but a tenner each plus post... The guys in the duffle coats? the one with the signal lamp and the one in battle dress look more the part.

Now about the duffel coats. It was in June and it was dry(ish) which puts me off a bit. On the other hand it was early (is 8am early) and they where at sea so could of been a bit nippy....

I saw some figures a while back. A couple of guys in jumpers and another in the regulation blue top with dicky and flat top. I just can't find the darn things!!!

I will see if I can find them and if not, I will have to 'settle' for the Wee friends ones. Which look rather good actually.

I have just given her a coat of gloss clear coat. Once that is cured I will get the washes out.
