SI’s Dorking 1875: UD 11/4 British Lifeguards converted

[OSHIROmodels]

The layout works well 

Still no idea what I'm going to do for mine 

[Silent Invader]

I’ve knocked together a few more shapes to create the footprint of the Dorking hamlet. The roofs are not at their final angle, as I will cut them back to what is aesthetically pleasing.









Plus the doors and windows, which are laser cut acrylic from Oshiro Model Terrain.



I’ve superglued the doors and windows to plasticard . Once I’ve offered them up to the various holes to test fit, I’ll texture spray the grey card before permanently installing them.

Looking good.  Are the houses made of mounting board card and if so don't you get any warping when you paint them or is there some magic that prevents that?

That’s a very good question. I’m hoping that spraying with textured paint plus bracing and reinforcing will work. The buildings won’t be accessible so having a fixed roof atop each wall will help eliminate that flex point.

A good mix of buildings there

Super lovely.

That’s Uber kind of you 

[Captain Blood]

Looking good.

Sad to see the English Civil War disappearing fast in your ever-changing rear view mirror though

But it’s not. Honest. I’m just so short of hobby time at the mo that I can’t get on with painting, and that includes ECW minis. I’m also unable to game at the mo, as I can’t take over the dining table for an extended period (and I really would like to play my next ECW Campaign game).

Dirk I’m not sure what you were trying to say? Was it beer o’clock (Bier Zeit) when you posted? 

A good tradition in Germany says „Kein Bier vor vier“. Unfortunately no one makes clear if it means 4 o‘clock am or pm… So, well, Bierzeit is nearly 24 hours in Germany…. You project is great, waiting for the first figures

I links the sound of that. Prost!

Excellent progress.

What about the Seven Samurai, or the Gothic Horror or....  

[Silent Invader]

The project list comprises, in no particular order:

Seven Samurai
Battle of Dorking*
Wasteland Warriors
ECW*
Gothic Horror*
Pirates
Barons War*
Lord of the Rings*
WW2 Sicily
Old West

I’m still thinking of binning the unfinished Star Wars and Britannia (Age of Arthur) projects.
