What's on your workbench?

[Peeler]

Yes, I think you should.

42mm naval infantry for Toscana. I have a major decision to make, do I leave the pompoms white or add a touch of red to the overall blue & white uniform?

Red might make them look a bit French (and who wants that), what about a nice light blue?

[Essex Boy]

Definitely orange.

[grizzlymc]

That'll make them look Dutch.

[levied troop]

Melon green.
All the cool cats wear it.

[Buff Orpington]

I'm obviously going to have to organise a beauty contest.

Today I have mostly been sticking the foliage to another 82 trees. A track-navvy came into the signal box and asked what I was doing.

"Gardening."

Somewhat astonishingly he seemed perfectly satisfied with that answer.

[BaronVonWreckedoften]

Probably just grateful you didn't prefix it with "uphill".

[Ilkley Old School]

Being playing around fixing broken bayonets on some Hintons using bayonets from HaT plastic figures, super glue. PVA, and Milliput.

A comparison before the bayonet replacement.



The join has so far passed the wiggle the bayonet test. The bendy nature of HaT plastic puts less strain on the joint than a more rigid solution.



The HaT bayonet is an almost exact match for the HH one. Once painted it will hard to tell the difference.

[Essex Boy]

Good work.

Surprising how ropy the castings look 'in the raw'.
