  • Just squeezing in under the deadline for The Guild’s 2012 group build – this is my task two. It consists of German opponents for the platoon of Brits I painted for the last task – two sections of infantry (18 men) and one Tiger 1 tank. The figures are Italeri, from their...

  • My latest work is a repaint of a DeAgostini diecast. These were on sale about two years ago for £2, so I picked up four. The tank is painted in a generic way, with no markings apart from the turret numbers and the balkan crosses, so that I can use...

  • More figures for my british platoon – I still have to do the third section and the platoon HQ. Once again, these figures were painted with the Dip. I will have a tutorial up within a week or so, I’ve taken the pictures, but they need editing and sorting into...

  •  I love Army Painter’s dip. (Strong Tone) These chaps took less than 20 minutes each, painting individually. Batch painting should bring this down to about 15 minutes at most, which means I actually have a shot at finishing a complete platoon before this time next year, which is what I...

  • It’s a Revell 1/7 kit – and it’s really good. The kit is beautifully cast and designed,  all the detail is crisp and there is almost no flash, and very few mouldlines. Painting this kit, I tried to try out a few new techniques, such as panel fading and pinwashing....

  • Well it’s been a month since my last post, but I do have something to show for it, beside my exams. These are more of the Britannia Miniatures 1980s British Infantry that I started last year: Link. The base markings denote company: The HQ coy have plain bases, the first coy...
