What's on your workbench?

[RMD]

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.

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.

Good work.

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

I agree, If I got something like those in an order from a modern manufacturer these days I'd be saying bugger this for a game of toy soldiers

6mm WW1 planes for Steel Lard

[HMS Priapus]

Some pug-faced Warlord French Nap artillery. The faces are just god awful compared to the Victrix plastics.

In the same vein would you be happy if you bought a new car and got one of these.



Compared to modern cars there is no comparison.

But I know I would love to have another Triumph Herald. My first car was a Triumph Herald 1200 in two tone white and blue and I also had Vitesse 1600 Convertible.

[Essex Boy]

Always wanted one of them. Almost as much as I wanted a Vitesse Convertible. I saw one in Cheddar a couple of weeks ago....showing its age, sadly.

Quite a bit on my workbench, I got around to putting a base coat on these cavalry today
A mix of Crusader SYW Prussians and Austrian cavlary
Some Perry Napoleonic Mounted Jaeger along with the last 2 battalions of my Murawski Miniatures Duchy of Warsaw infantry and their 13th Hussars
