    Default What's on your workbench for June?

    The scenery now has the basic colour for the Walls of the fortification and rocky crag added.

    It's getting there Vol. Now the real work starts. No more large makeovers, but the nitty gritty of detailing, and all those buildings for the town are still ghost white.

    I have no word to describe the way this project takes shape. Absolutely astonishing. By the way, it looks so identical to the mountains in the background. It perfectly bends into it while it's not even painted yet. To the next step

    Thanks Romeo.
    I have Mrs Bligh (Speedwell Lass) to thank for the paint scheme. She advised me on the best colour match for the cliffs when we were at B&Q selecting the colours. Their match pots are only Ł1.50 a pot and have about three times as much paint as model shop paints at half the price, and they don't go off for years. The only down side is that their range is a bit limited.

    Sorry to answer that late (I will be quite busy till early July). Well this is obviously a good compromise between the cost and the results ! The urban colour tones are looking great with the cliffs on the background. The brushing step is the icing on the cake !!


    Hey Vol, great job with your ship too. I'm starting getting used to wonderful results from the modellers of this forum !! I know that's a detail but I really like the fact that the "sprit sail" (front sail if I'm correct with the English vocabulary) is lowered on your models unlike the Warlord's ones which always keep them rolled up. That is cool too but that's neater when lowered in my opinion !

    Today I gave the surface a watered down PVA layer where I wanted the sand dunes, and then spreinkled fine sand over the area. Tomorrow I will repeat the process and add medium stones. When that has dried I will superglue the big boulders in place.
    Meantime I am positioning my buildings to get a feel for how I want the town to look.
    Tomorrow I will start painting them whilst the sand and rocks are drying.

    Hi Ferrante.
    The paints that I have used are as follows:-

    Good Home Matt barranqilla, cartagena, and merida. These are shades of light brown, a sort of chalky pink and creamy grey.
    I also used Dulux butter biscuit, and natural wicker. All the above are trial pots for walls. At about Ł1.50 a tub they hold about three times the volume of a proper GAMES WORKSHOP paint pot at about a quater of the price.
    I also used Revell Reddish Brown, Afrikabraun and Ocker. plus Vallejo Yellow Ochre and Ivory.
    The basecoats for the whole shooting match were Spraycans of Citadel Corax White primer, overlaid by an undercoat of Paint Factory Matt Desert Sand.
    Hope that gives you an idea of the lengths to wich I will go to save a pound or two.
    Rob.

    I finished Gunner's Ville de Varsovie tonight.
    I added rails aft of the main chains to tie off the back stays and heads to the bow. I also added a little blue silver to the windows to cover the black. New masts of course.

    As I remarked earlier the artwork on that stern certainly blew me out of the water.

    Thanks Julián.

    Due to another magic two day turnround from Langton's today the final elements needed to complete my North African port and castle complex arrived. I can now push on with the detailing of the harbour.

    Looks a real treat Ferrante. The Octagonal tower with the lighthouse on the end of the wall is unknown to me. Is it from Grenadier Miniatures?

    Three of them are going to be used for Sails with bases. One is just for show in the Harbour with furled sails unloading.
    The size will not be a problem as there was no standard size for Algerine ships save those which they captured from the great Sailing powers. I intend y using them as small craft to mob larger ships. A lot seemed to mount one very large cannon in the bows and us that for reducing a larger well found ship from the bow or across the stern, before overwhelming the larger ship by sheer weight of numbers in the boarding parties. For stand up fights I intend to use converted Ares Frigates or ships captured from the Spanish.

    What I can't find is any of their oared Galleys Vol.
    Rob.
    There is an oared galley in the Baltic section, along with quite a few additional oared vessels including a shebek and half shebek:

    SR15
    Galley*(40 oars)
    3-masted with lateen sails.
    Pre 1796, there were 5 forward facing guns. After 1796, there would be either 5 forward facing guns or 3 forward firing guns plus 1 able to fire aft over the rudder head. This model could depict either

    And there is the one galley in the Great Lakes line:

    GL11
    Galley 'Washington' (20 gun) (1776-1777)
    Hull, stern, quarter deck, 2 masts; brass sails.
    Plus oarbanks (optional use).

    Other than that you would have to visit the Renaissance section for galleys

    Cheers for all that extra info Vol. I must admit that I did not look at the Baltic section. Never suspected that they would be there although I knew that they were a significant factor in Baltic warfare. Just got fixated on North Africa!

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Yes they are Vol. I got a pack of a hundred from him the year before Sven did The Nile at Doncaster. I still have about fifty left.

    Dang they are nice! You are fortunate to to live so near Julian and have easy access to all of the cool stuff he sells. The postal costs are prohibitive to Washington.

    Had a bit of a setback over the last few days. Suddenly become alergic to the fumes from the Superglue. Every time I use it I suffer a sort of nazal reaction like very bad Hayfever that lasts about two days. I really have to find am alternative before I can finish gluing my guns in place and the rest of the houses. Any good ideas will be welcome.

    While it wont work in all modeling situations I often use two part epoxy glues. There's still a smell so that might well trigger your allergic reactions too, but it's not as strong as any of the super glues?
