The Loose Association of Wargamers

EB likes to paint his 3 or 4 times to make sure no moisture gets in! Different colours. Just in case.

These days I usually pva a small piece of paper withe the regimental ID or a unit number on the underside of mine - I wish I'd always done this as with regiments I painted up years ago, I have no idea what they are now and with Napoleonics being so identical and numerous I often have a nationality underneath like Saxon Foot artillery etc

I'm seriously thinking of sticking a label on the rear edge of the base with the regimental name. Under the base will be the date of raising and the unit history.

That's a right good idea EB, I like that.
As for you Mr Grizz, did you mean ..

Cos I agree with that too. I must be in an agreeable mood today ....

A classic kit!




Was it re-released by Fujimi at one point? I seem to remember that some of Eidai quickbuild kits ended up in their range.

EDIT : I'm confused, originally by Arii and rereleased by Eidai. Apparently it was then released again in 2010. https://hobbylink.tv/model-talk-2-armor-modelers

Well the 38 t, 37mm pak and the Panzerjager1 in the photo event in the Eidai original and all were done by Fulimi so you could be right - I knew about the Arii reissue.

Mine is on hold awaiting the arrival of some Rustoleum Plastic Primer ( though I suppose I could get on with the tank and guns etc.

Pow pow! Fun hardware!
I haven’t painted anything like this since the 90s! I can’t wait!
Take that Jerry

Just how much Bostik did you use?

Perhaps rear edge just the command base?

I know what you mean. I think I'll try it on just the command base to start with but I've a feeling that my OCD will think that's not balanced. Perhaps a compromise is to size the label so that it doesn't cover the full length of the command base.

I shall experiment.
