Another "old work in no-progress" !!
I've begun to realize a dio one year ago (AVRIL 2010) but I've never had enough courage to finish it... even if a second almost finished part is on a corner of my painting table!
Honestly, painting AIRFIX figures is not very fun, but the wagon was more pleasant to do!
I've added some accessories on its sides and I've glued some paper on the roof canvas for the texture.
*******************************************************************************
Un autre "ancien travail en non-progrès"!
J'ai commencé à réaliser un dio il y a un an (avril 2010), mais je n'ai jamais eu le couragede le finir ... même si une deuxième partie presque complète est en attente sur un coin de ma table de peinture!
Honnêtement, peindre des figures AIRFIX n'est pas très amusant, mais le wagon était plus agréable à faire !
J'ai ajouté quelques accessoires sur les côtés et j'ai collé du papier sur la toile de toit pour la texture.

And more??
I've begun 2 buildings:
1-the "Gold Rush Saloon" from the Famous Dr Willet's Workshop:
(a little too big for 1/72 but it's a kind of work I've never did!)
2- a (not easy to do!) Paper-card model from the nice
and....
3-some figures almost finished.... but it's a secret yet!
(I hope that the surprise will be Great!)
Nice project! The paper-canvas on the roof really gives the viewer a feeling of a canvas covered wagon.
RépondreSupprimerI think I understand why the figures were less enjoyable to paint. The craftsmanship on those is not as nice as it could be. But that covered wagon more than makes up for it.
RépondreSupprimerI agree airfix figs can suck the life out of you. I have a few figs to do but they don't have that sense of competion when done, more like... onto he next one I guess. metal is much more rewarding
RépondreSupprimerAirfix, along with the likes of strelets test your painting skills ;-D
SupprimerThat's right... but painting STRELETS figs is more enjoyable than AIRFIX ones because the poses are better! °_°
SupprimerAirfix? How many memories come back?
RépondreSupprimerGood work!

Nice looking figures, love the wagon.

Thanks Bruno, but the pics of the buildings are not mine! it's just to show them! wait my own pictures of my own work!
SupprimerI also been waiting for that wagon train. Really like what you did with the officer from Airfix' ACW Artillery. Great work overall and really looking forward to see your buildings! Thumbsup as we say in another world. :-D
