What's on your workbench?

[Shahbahraz]

Yep. I don't have enough as I miscalculated. Expensive force to build in cash and painting time.

Thank you.

Anyone here need a life, I am currently juggling three, so have spares!

I could use a new one, but at least two of yours seem a bit......well worn?

[FreddBloggs]

I call it broken in and having character....

Corridors....

[Paul]

OO...oo I can spot the odd one out. some most excellent masonry work there

[Shahbahraz]

That looks very impressive - although a chap of my stature might actually bock an entire corridor...

That’s looking good, you had a productive Friday evening what with sorting me out
Although, word to the wise, that workbench doesn’t look too stable.

Good stuff Mr Goat!

Being of an orderly turn of mind at the moment, I decided to have a closer look at my undercoating options before cracking on with various projects - testing out which delivers best finish for fastest time:

Front Rank English troops for 1745 - L to R: Halfords Black with a Halfords White overspray, Halfords White, Black Enamel wash.

The first one looks awfully crude in digital photography, the second a little bland when it comes to painting (a fourth option might be to undercoat white and use a Magic Wash to pick out the detail). The third is my favoured one at present, especially as with a little wire work the bare metal virtually paints itself, but sometimes the enamel doesn't always take the acrylic paint so well.

Are these Front Rank figures?
