ITLSU 1917 Project

[paulr]

No painting last night, we went to the light and sound show at the National War Memorial Park. Very well done and good to see hundreds of people there on a cool cloudy evening.

The queue to get into the Great War Exhibition was long and slow moving even at 9pm. I will be visiting the exhibition in a couple of weeks when hopefully the crowds have reduced somewhat.

Painted the artillery crew shirts this morning before heading off for work

Got to do some painting on Monday after a busy weekend with the Dawn Service and two birthday parties (afternoon & evening) on ANZAC Day and our ANZAC landing 'what if' game on Sunday.

Three out of six dry brush colours done on the uniforms and puttees painted on artillery crew in shorts (not sure how I missed those first time round )

Arab Regiment of the Army of the Ottoman Empire

I wonder if that is 'precise' enough for FK













These, along with my Anatolian regiment, will be used next weekend in or ANZAC game.

these are coming along superbly

take care

Well this project has been put on hold again

I can't blame Peter Jackson or the Perrys this time. My Tumbling Dice 1/4,800 Napoleonic ships have arrived so the artillery and Camel Corps have be replaced on my painting table by some ships that are about the same size as the camels

I will return to this project once I have finished my first batch of ships. For those interested see here

And spare a thought for my AWI project that has now been delayed by 4 projects
1914, 1917, 1915 and now Naval, at least covering the 'right' period

Don't forget I'm bringing back some more stuff from PM when I go to the UK next month too, including the 4 "devils on horses" for you, so like driving on the M25 or Auckland motorway "there may be some further delays"

Look forwards to seeing them done!

[paulr]

Made some more progress on these

Painted various bages and blankets and other kit hung about the camels. Also painted 'tyres' and breeches on guns

[Techno]

What are bages, Paul ?
Tried Googling that, without success.
Cheers - Phil

Sorry FK, a typo. It should have read bags

Did some more detailing on the guns and leather equipment on the men and camels

[Techno]

 

Sorry, Paul.
I couldn't make my mind up whether that was a genuine typo, or an obscure word for a bit of camel 'furniture'.
Should have realised that was supposed to be 'bags'......But I got completely stuck thinking, "Does he mean badges ?", and I couldn't imagine badges being something you'd find, and paint, on a camel. ....Mr Brain was definitely not in gear, at that time....But then...When is it ever ?)
(Could have been 'badgers', I suppose.)
