Many thanks.
Only got another 30 or so figures to paint, along with vehicles, helicopters, and aircraft and a missing farm .

Subtle dig there Bob.

I’ve also been able to obtain a couple of buildings to use as stores.
These came from “The Square”.

Hello, I cannot find JB mdf products on Ebay nor The "square" anywhere. Can you please provide links to them? TIA

[flatpack]

I agree, I couldn’t find them on the Internet too.
I had to go to a show at Devises to buy the items off his stand.
Sorry about that.

I've also wasted a fair amount of time hunting for these online.
Picked mine up from Salute, they generally have a fairly comprehensive amount of stuff.

Nice pieces, and definitely worth getting hold of.

Ash,
Yours look great.
I don’t think my buildings will turn out like that

I would offer to do them for you Bob, but as I still owe you a farm you might say no.

[CapnJim]

They do indeed look good!  Well done, lad!

Can I ask where you got your African posters and advertising from ?
They really add character to the buildings.

These were seriously simple. Sprayed with Halfords Grey car primer, then relatively cheapo acrylic (Artiste from amazon) paint. Mixed a little blue in for the colour change, left the primer for the 'concrete'. Then slapped on some watered down mig pigment. The end.

Various Google image searches. Chuck them into a Word doc., copy paste the pics at different sizes. Ink jet print, stick on with PVA, once dry give them a thin wash or watered down pigments.
Used to do the same for 40k buildings way back...
I have a load saved somewhere on my HD. If you want to, PM me an email address I can send what I have as attachments.

Bought crew, 3d printed.


Very nice..never seen before Rhodesian Air crews/Mgunners in 1/72..an essential item once you had purchased, like i also did, all those "Gendarmerie Halouettes"  .please, can you tell us where did you buy those crews?

[flatpack]

For the crew, drop a line to David.
He 3d prints them in Australia and will ship anywhere.

African shantytown buildings.

Bought these last year from Ironclad miniatures.
20mm shantytown buildings.

Had a set of Warbases pond bases that were sat in a drawer.

Thought I’d add the two together.

I’d like to be able to remove the building rooftops, so I’ve not glued them down, and I’m adding matchsticks inside them, as a key way for locating them.

Basic buildings and pond bases.


Preparation. What fits where ?


Final fitting.
The pond bases worked for a couple of the buildings, but I had to find a couple more suitable homemade bases to finish off basing the buildings.


You never know. I may get this finished before the farm that has.been is putting together for me
