Great stuff

Spot on! I've been eying up those Strelets - you've done a great job!

How was the plastic to work with?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

I've found that the plastic takes paint well - it's not manufacturer dependant. I have HaT, Airfix and others for Andrevia, no flaking. Also seemed to glue together much better than the 70's stuff. Don't discount em.

Those are splendid, snake !! 

Cheers - Phil

Cheers Ian - I had some very difficult stuff from Strelets for a customer a couple years ago and they were a nightmare. On the other hand like you I have a load of HaT and others which have been fine!

I really, truly don't need another project let alone another Lace Wars ish horse and musket one, but...

If it does cause a problem try washing in luke warm soapy water, Will (MacNally) tells me that that works.

[toxicpixie]

I always do that with plastics, since some unfortunate experience with Airfix figures very early on

Excellent work - I love what you have done with the flags in particular.

Thank you Mollinary  The flags are all down to the wonders of photoshop... I also liked the idea of having them flying sideways so the designs can be seen a bit clearer; it also hides to a certain extent, that strange effect so often seen on miniature battlefields, where the wind blows in opposite directions!!!!

Many thanks John, much appreciated!

Thanks TP... I've had no problems really with the plastic apart from trying to clean up mould lines, it doesn't cut particularly cleanly and can leave areas quite rough, even when using a new scalpel blade... I use cheap hobby acrylics to paint them, sometimes 'improved' with artists acrylic and then varnished with matt acrylic varnish, I've had no issues with paint flaking and they seem pretty robust!

You've done a cracking job - I often sub in similar paints, some are surprisingly cheap!
