I find that BG and Perry, although nice figures require a lot of work, and I mean a lot of work, to get rid of all the mold lines and extra flashing.

I have some BG, Perry and Front Rank figures all in the same unit as they are reasonable together on the table. Plus, people are all different sizes in real life, so not a huge issue. I look at how much work figures require to get them on the table. Front Rank, a bit chunky, are easy to file and paint.

Just my 2 cents worth.

The BG do look a bit sad in comparison. Although I am a diehard Front Rank fanboy, I admit when it comes to the Rifles the Perry are the best, a good size and lovely poses

Oh well, luckily I don’t need hundred of them! Yes there is a bit of cleaning up on the Perry’s but that doesn’t bother me too much.

Right, back to the matter in hand. I want to get this church finished soon as it’s stopping me painting minis. I have precious little hobby time at night as it is!

I plastered it last night. Doesn’t look too bad. The trick was to make the brick impressions less block like.

Next job, a quick sand to get rid of any spikes bits, a clean up of a few of the more obvious mortar lines then woodwork. I may get the odd roof mould going this evening too.

Looking very good, already! You did a great job on plastering! Cheers!

Cheers Din. Think I’m going with the same design main door as I used on my adobe Wild West chapel. Indeed, the building is almost the same shape!

Casting underway

A figure comparison for you.

The first BG is meant to be Harper.....a big lad in the show, smallest on parade here and you should see puny Sharpe!

Would it be possible to see Sharpe?

Happy to oblige. Sean is 5,10” in real life and Daragh (Harper) is 6’3”! Lol

Here they are along with a few chosen men and Frederickson. I have put some Perry minis on the ends of both lines.

WOW!! Reminds me of Peter Pan for some reason. Thanks!

Yup..he’s pretty small!

Ok, the church is built! Huzzah! The roof of the tower nearly finished me off....this tiling is a bastard to work with!

I can not cut this stuFf in a straight line!

The “door” to the tower isn’t a door, but a recess for a religious thingy when painted. 2 doors was overkill for something “defendable”.

The tree will get added after paintwork.
