Hi Everyone. What do you do when you are bored and fed up with doing tracks and armour? You build a fence post! :smiling5: :smiling5:

It was done in a day using 5mm styrene square rod, 3mm wire for the barbed wire and 2mm wire for the ivy stalks/roots. Then painted using acrylics and oils. A little bit of pigments on the stake part and then finished off with Ammo's ivy. Happy modelling everyone.

Wow that's neat Steve .

Thanks Paul. The Vallejo stuff works really good. Like I said to Tim, still a little ways till she's finished and then on to Pete's GB.....



Yes I do Paul, I have too many things on the go and I am going to try and make progress on some of them with Pete's GB. The UHU with the SWs calls me every time I look at the box. My V-2 project got stalled too. Started too many kits and lost the original plan of 3 dios going crazy with support equipment. I can only hope that when I can finally sit on my butt and not have to work, I can get back on track and "Just Do It". Nothing to really go with the Hetzer though.....Maybe the Möbelwagen....

Prost

PS, What's so funny Rick?????..............

Ha, Rick is like me pleased to see a completed build. Now of course you are on your way to retirement there will hopefully no stopping you and the flat will be full on completed builds, or are you moving to one of those new apartments near by ?

These two chaps are being worked on.
You'll note one appears to be wearing a rah-rah skirt. So I painted the ruffles bright blue. I'm now not sure whether or not to go the whole hog and paint the skirt itself in suitably girlie colours, rather than the drab brown. Any thoughts? (These guys are supposed to be scary, but also a bit ridiculous, if that helps!)

Nice work so far. The blues are looking good . Be careful on the girly colours though, he could end up looking like an elf…..

[PaulinKendal]

Thanks Tim. I'm considering making the main body of the skirt black - that way it reads as suitably rufty-tufty, but also matches the blue frills, without being excessively girlie. (Not "excessively girlie"?! He's wearing a frock, for heaven's sake!)

[Tim Marlow]

You could always make it tartan LOL…..

[PaulinKendal]

[Tim Marlow]

Going with blue then Paul…..good call. It goes with both the frills and the skin tone….

Rufti-Tuftie, blue frills? sounds like an RAF Regiment Scaremonger ...

Or........Oh hey, do any of you "boys" want to dance? :thumb2:

Just found some one with time on there hands to build some fence post and stretch some Barb Wire for my new Diorama I’m building.
