Sorry I know the picture is dark, but I have yet to work out how to manipulate images in windows 8. There must be an easy way so I am sure it will come in time, but at present it eludes me. Two more
FRONTLINE vehicles these will either be staff cars or normal civilian cars as the need arrives. One in Black the other a very deep red. The red colour was due to watching an episode of Colditz yesterday in which a car of the very same colour was driven by the star before he was shot down over Germany and captured. Yes I will use any source to get a colour I like! Not really that much more to say about these two.
I have two more civilian vehicles on the paint table which will be finished next, then on to some troops as to be blunt I am getting a little bored with doing vehicles. As the weather looks acceptable today I will try to get up the shed and start converting wood into base boards. Not the most exciting of jobs, but it is the first step and I can't put it of much longer.
That's todays very quick post. More of the same on Friday. All the best Clint.
another nice job Clint. Looking forward to pics of the troops soon. I hope to pinch some ideas for my own 15mm VBCW
ReplyDeleteIf you are at all serious about VBCW I would suggest looking the Very British Forum. (Found via Panzerkaputs blog). They have loads of ideas and are all friendly chaps.
DeleteMore troops will take some time. I have just primed 2 units. A Civilian clothed Militia and a uniformed Cavalry squad. Hope to have something to show over the weekend. (No promises)
They look pretty good! And as mentioned above...Looking forward to the troops!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mate, but the troops will get done very soon, but will take some time.
DeleteNice cars Clint like the colours as well.
ReplyDeleteColours are of that era which helps the period look greatly.
DeleteOne careful owner sir, You'll look good behind the wheel of this one. Nice vehicles, I'm toying with some Frontline stuff myself but can't make my mind up or find a suitable model for what I want (whatever that is!)
ReplyDeleteI can never find the EXACT thing I want either. Sometimes you just have to go with what you can get. At the Club on Sunday Tim did mention that he's had a couple of large orders recently that has drained his stock so much that he can't attend a local show. How's that for a recession?
DeleteVery nice Clint. I especially like the retro period colour schemes.
ReplyDeleteWell you have to make some attempt to paint them the right colours. I am glad you approve.
DeleteGood choice of colours, vehicles like these appear regularly on "Poirot"
ReplyDeleteExactly the right feel and period. It's a good job I can't find any 20mm gangsters or I would get side-tracked!
