Despite being enthused after Euro and Gravesham back in September/October I have done a distinct lack of modelling in the last month or two. In order to do something about that I decided to do something outside of my comfort zone, a sci-fi piece. It is one of the AE-WWII pieces from Darkson Designs. It is an officer of the American Faction. It is about 40mm tall. The detail is stunning when you consider the size of it. Not one for sci-fi but this one works and I will be getting some more pieces from them. They do a British Druid in a para smock.

The above pics were taken after priming but before final finishing off. I spotted a few areas that needed sorting. Here is a pic of the box art. It comes with alternative heads and arms.

Here are a few more pics of this one. You will have to keep with me on the photography as I am playing around with my new camera, a Canon Powershot SX20is, and new editing software; a new learning curve. The basics of the face are laid in. I need to go back and tighten it up.

And a pic of the base in progress.

Let me know what you think.

I attended a show yesterday in Liskeard and while there I took some pictures of models on our club stand to put up on the website. This included a few pieces of mine. Here they are:

Metal Modeles 54mm French Line Infantryman, 1859. He has been painted up as as Fusilier of the 2e Regiment Etrangere.

Andrea Miniatures’ 54mm Napoleon I.

Fort Duquesne’s 54m Sous Lieutenant Nomeny. This fifgure is based upon a famous photo taken during the French Foreign Legion’s service in Mexico.

Elite Miniatures 70mm Mongol Warrior c. 1300. A great figure sculpted by Julian Hullis.
