From what Techno said above I suspect the gas mask is partly showing as the bag it has been stowed in is partly open

I'm pretty sure the figure won't be wearing it

Haha no never worry I did indeed get your point, just thought I'd highlight which ones did get modified anyway! 

To that, in the above image it's the two middle figures.

Definitely no snow here

 


Mmcv, my point, probably badly expressed, was that the modifications are so well done that they look as well sculpted as the original models

To poorly quote Spike Milligan, "in the war military vehicles moved at 'look at that' speed compared to modern 'did you see that' speed"

Would have been an interesting ride for those 3 blokes sitting on top of the truck's cab if they were going over one of those zig-zagging Italian alpine pass roads and the truck had to stop in a hurry.....hang on tight lads!     

The Tarascan royal bodyguard:





Few modifications here!

Also got three bases of infantry painted and washed. Hopefully it's not another week again until I can get them highlighted and based!

After that only the generals, heroes and casualties to paint and the king to tackle the sculpting on.

Going slushy round here now, Probably freeze overnight and make roads treacherous. Good job I am working from home

Lots of Comments about Salute 2021 on the South London Warlords and Salute Facebook page  None from the organizers about it since last August when things were very different.

I wonder if they are afraid of cancelling/postponing again as I expect most traders and Punters will want their money back.  I am not sure how many wouod accept another postponement of 6-12 months , while the organizers hold all the deposits. - I just hope they have sufficient funds to refund those who request it.

They seem to be relying on the fact that the closure date for the Nightinggale Hospital is 31st Marh.  However I cannot see it closing then, at most it is likely to be mothballed until they have vaccinated all those over 50 , which is supposed to be about autumn.

I believe they form a limited company each year, so if they have spent the money on preparing for the show they may not have the cash to give  refunds.

Anybody have any real info on this?

Base coat colours applied to my scratch built aircraft hangar, plus flags painted. The latter take time but I like the finished look.
