Gunthwaite Miniatures

Not sure I would in 1/48 scale…perhaps a dollop of superglue to give an impression.

Great work! My favourite era.

I’m with you. I’ve mastered figures and nobody notices the he bits that I’m really pleased with.

Valley Bowmen, Metham near Huddersfield. A lovely shooting ground (even though you shoot uphill)
I’ve did a bit of field archery with my longbow in the distant past.

We had an hour of do on the archery field this morning and my lovely lady was on fire: not only every arrow in the gold, every one’s within the 10 ring within the gold!

👍🏼

I may invest in a reissue.

Oh tell me about the age of the kit! I have 4 in the loft (with a similar number of Vosper MTBs), which to my shame I’ve not built (bearing in mind I make figures for them).
I’m using the hull of the RAF HSL to make a Motor Anti-Submarine Boat - but it’s not gone very far.

Great work with a challenging kit!
(I need to get my unmade kits out of the loft to do…)

Obviously you need a bigger picture!

Great work…but an easy target bunched like that!😊

And how do I paint my Epic scale figures? Just like painting any other scale: very slowly!

👍🏼

Oh, they were a frustration. Umpteen coats. And it’s umpteen years since I lasted painted something without a coat of Halfords grey primer.

Yes, Lidl purchase. I thought it was a starter kit but it’s labelled “Airfix Club”.

👍🏼😁

Oh, I think an objective assessment would be adequate…just.
But it’s old skool fun stuff when you bought a model, took it home, shook the box and built what came out.

Job done, straight out of the box, using glue and paint from the box.
An impulse buy from Lidl (food store) and I think it’s the first Spitfire I’ve built since the Frog MkXIV and Flying Bomb was first issued. I might do a bit of extra fettlin’ over the next couple of days.

It’s transfer time!

So, the holiday build is not coming on too badly. The carpet monster has been tamed (and parts recovered), paints are a frustration (but a better finish than I expected…with perseverance) and the fit was tight with some bits. The only “extra” is a roll of decorators masking tape to mask the canopy.

It’s not going especially well..,

Oh yes!

So, we’re on holiday. I have a few modelling bits with me. We’re Lidl and guess what jumped into the shopping trolley?

On a whim, I have just rejoined the British Model Soldier Society. It must be 40 years since I was last a member.

Superb!

Humped back bridge AND a Goodwood chicane!

Good stuff. I hope it does the trick.

Oh dear. I've not been that unlucky. Get dosed up with your painkiller of choice.

I'm with you - a crown fitted this morning. I'm presently hoping the numbness will be gone by lunchtime.

Superb job! A lovely finish with subtle weathering.
