Good stuff I like the low contrast painting style on those figures. What are you using for the square bases btw? Do you remove the whole base/slotta tab and glue the figures to the base?

Thank you for the commits on my painting.
The bases are from http://www.alternative-armies.com/59002_Infantry_Bases.htm they are made from pewter, it’s something they did awhile back rather then plastic, now day they give you plastic.
I have at lest six divisions of Slaughterloo figures, but I told them not to send the pewter bases when I bought a division as I was using magnetic plastic for my figure base way back in around 1998 or 1999 they in turn would let me have a free unit instead, but the odd unit I bought had them got around 30 left, had just found them lately in the back shed.
So I take the tab of the figure and I solder to ether a two penny piece or them bases with a temperature controlled soldering iron using low melt point solder do same for arm fixing and such.

Here is a link to some my pictures, now I use Foundry paint I may repaint them, don’t normally do highlights or shadows when painting  bulk, happy with clean paint lines, you may find something you like.

Bloody hell, mate! Are those fairgroumd attractions kits or purely scratch built?  :o

They all scratched built, I put them in 3 folders now, my brother made some machines in 1/72 scale, the living wagon and trucks are around 1/45 and based on what my dad drove in the 40s and 50s and a tin smith made the others machines in 1/45 scale or close to that.
The only kit parts are the carousel horses and I think the wheels on the trucks, there may be the other odd kit parts but them usually small things like 1/72 scale dodgem cars or waltzer car.

My brother was making 1/72 scale when the 1/45 scale went up for sale in a auction as damaged goods e.g. the transport carrying them has a crash and the insurance paid out and put them up for sale, brother got them for around £280,they had all been made by a tin smith as a hobby, there may have been more models made but we think only the damaged ones went up in the auction,  there was two carousals and various other rides as you can see my brother did a strip repair and full repaint job on some of them e.g. the Carousal  you can see before and after, other rides pictures painted  are the Big Wheel  plus the Chair o Planes and Skid rest to follow when he gets around to it, if you look you will not see any up to date modern rides as they were made in the 70s.
The tin smith was a good model maker but had no idea how to paint rides to a fun fair standard.
My family have had a life time experience in that department.
Glad you like them, I have told him to do the model show with them ,but we really don’t have time once season starts.
