Workbench Saturday

 Trying to get bits and pieces sorted and off the bench at the moment so today saw 50 highlanders bases finished - standard still to be issued.

(Sorry for the quality of the photos - poor light today)





I also pressed on doing a few conversions, managed to get the Ranger crew for the Bateaux 95% done, the French cavalry for the FIW and Swedish infantry are progressing well and tomorrow hope to finish them and do the French Marines for the bateaux 


I also undercoated a figure from Caballero Miniatures, I got a few of these for no reason other than they are wonderful sculpts and are resin printed. Unfortunately I had to sell my resin printer due to bad reactions to the resin, cleaning fluids and fumes - even with PPE! 

The pieces were printed for me by Georgios Galazoulas in Greece who holds a licence for the figures and is also a very talented painter.



I will slide the pole of the standard down to touch the base, the other pieces I will assemble and show next post, they are excellent.

  1. Lovely work, Graham. The Ranger conversions for the bateaux are wonderful. It will be a stunning model once everything is finished and painted.

    Thank you for sharing.

  7. Excellent figures and basing, Graham. I think the crusader is superb - very evocative - Hattin comes immediately to mind!

    Those Bateaux look intriguing .. my wallet is twitching again...Oh dear!

    Cheers, Rohan.
