ITLSU 1917 Project

[Techno]

Some progress over the last few days, being back at work has certainly slowed progress and the heat hasn't helped
Just need to varnish them and they will be done, shame the forecast is for strengthening northerlies

Oh.....How my heart bleeds for you. 

Paul.....Even 54mm white metal figures nailed to a table would be in danger of flying away, and down the road..... Here at Techno Towers the mo'......
Forget spraying anything.....Apart from upstairs in the pole barn.....And I wouldn't risk that, in case the whole structure gets whisked away.

Cheers - Phil

Phil, you'll be relieved to know that I got to finish work early today and was home in time to varnish batch 4 before the wind got up

I hope all have coped with the bad weather in the UK

[Techno]

I's absolutely still here, at the moment, Paul (Thank goodness !)
As Paul says.....Hope everyone else is coping/has coped.

Cheers - Phil.

A bit blowy down here in the south east, and there are some monster puddles like small lakes, but nothing we haven't seen before.

1/6^th Royal Welsh Fusiliers Black / Red horizontal rectangle, horizontally bisected puggaree flash; Black / Red  horizontal rectangle, vertically bisected shoulder flash








1/7th RWF (will use dismounted cavalry as stand in)


1/1^st Herefordshire  Black / Green horizontal rectangle, horizontally bisected puggaree flash; Black / Green horizontal rectangle, vertically bisected shoulder flash







You may also remember this from the curator of the Herefordshire's museum

The officers wore on the neck of their jackets at the back a small red/white Herefordshire Lion badge.

Very, very nice again, Paul !

Do you take the photo's outside, or use 'flash' ?...I'm assuming you use one of those little 'tents' to diffuse the light ?
Cheers - Phil

[Leman]

The chaps in the bush hats look really good.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Excellent, Paul. The muted colours fit the period perfectly.

I take the photos inside but next to a large glass sliding door so plenty of natural light. I also use the large white styrene sheet I cut the bases from as a reflector.
