Only a few more to do, and you’ll have a village.

I would like to get a few pictures to give me inspiration for maybe
a street, but that is proving harder than I thought.

Which of the recent items, or do you mean ME David

Specifically the blue foam building. Really easy, presumably just pushed in windows with squared sticks? Do you seal the foam before painting it?

The squared end of a file, (the end that would go into the wooden handle,
if I could find it that is) was used for the windows. Several times for the doors.
I paint a thinned wood-glue/filler mixture over the foam. That both seals it &
helps with the texture. This one was based on the ubiquitous CDs (two glued
together to make them less flexible), but if I do end up making a street I'll
need something else for basing.

'...I've always been a Stones fan.
Never understood why Wilma & Betty ended up with Fred & Barney though.'

More stuff on CDs. This time...Stones. If not nice, certainly cheap.

...the straggly bushes are from the dog chewed door-mat.

Next up some 25mm figs. Oddments from the Lead Mountain.
I started messing with them for a convert & paint demo at the
school club. They were all AWI, some have ended up as Western Gunfight.

Oops! Sorry first two pictures are out of focus,
but you get the idea (I hope).

Try again, this time with glasses on!
This time some 28mm knights. I bought a whole lot off e-bay.
Assembled & undercoated, some part painted. Far too many
to keep, so I tried to sell the bulk on...no-one interested

Now I am tarting them up in small groups in the hope they
will now attract interest.

Some figures for Bock of Beyond 28mm.
Looking for the 'civilians hold up & hoping for the military to arrive' kind of vibe.

Some long promised, I mean loooooooooong promised, 15mm Ancients.
For a very understanding friend. At least they are now started.
This first lot are 32 bases (3 figures a base) and that means I have
now done about a quarter of this project!

Thanks for waiting Simon.

Some Terminators I bought off e-bay.
They were nicely painted already, I only did some repairs
(breakages in the post), a little tarting up (highlights mainly),
painted & 'named' the bases.
