Hello gents - it's great to be back. Been away for a while, but they say you always find your way back home in the end....

Some progress......cab is mostly doen but I screwed up and glued the sides in place before I detailed the interior doors....

at least the cab seems happy...

Captain Canada · February 19, 2010, 01:07:13 PM

No doubt ! Hopefully old cabby doesn't think it's so funny once she's painted and the masks come off !

Here we are, 2017. Yup. Almost 7 years running ! It's also been a long time since the passing of our pal SWMBO, so I really should get on this. I'm hoping to change my evil ways and quit thinking, dreaming, procrastinating and starting new projects. So this will be my first attempt at that.

I've always wanted to build a base for this, to make a nice wintery scene.

First off, dig out the project and let the cat inspect. She promptly grabbed a figure and ran. Bugger.

Formed up the hill with some cardboard

Then I went back 40 odd years and dug out my paper Mache skills

Looking good, Captain!

Captain Canada · January 09, 2017, 09:22:35 PM

Thank you kind sir ! Been a long time coming eh

Captain Canada · January 10, 2017, 07:32:49 AM

Started on the figures last night. The Luftwaffe set that I had bought ( ICM Maybe ? ) seems horribly out of scale, the dudes are huge ! Of well, I have enough of the others to populate the scenes.

PS-Can we move this thread ?

Thanks Chris ! The base is nice and hard and I hope to start adding the forest this weekend.

Cheers !

The landscape looks promising, can't wait to see it finished. Also a great inspiration, I haven't thought about a decent background at all.

The truck reminds me of an old pc game... https://youtu.be/KHUXISTMiAM?t=37s

Wow that was a big truck !

Only just seen this, or may have forgot about it

I like the scalerama thing there and it has given me some ideas for some S.H.A.D.O.builds I have rattling around my bonce.

Chris.

Old-School Skills never die, they come out to play when they're needed...

Captain Canada · February 01, 2017, 05:58:24 PM

Started on the winter camo. Next will be the speckles or mottles or whatever you call them and then some white.

DogfighterZen · February 02, 2017, 01:08:24 AM

That's something i'd like to drive through heavy traffic...
