Scratchbuilt 1/12th scale Bakers Waggonette
Here is another Horse Drawn Vehicle that I have made, it’s a 1/12th scale Bakers Waggonette.
It took me just over 6 months of 'graft' to get it finished, sometimes life just gets in the way of a decent hobby, eh.
The original full sized [...]
41 - 1/12 Tamiya Honda VFR750R
This is a really nice kit, the only down side is the very thick decals that have a tendency to crack over the curves of the bike.

I was at first unimpressed with Top Studio set but as I began to work with it [...]
German mercenary, Early XVI C, Italian Wars
I was quite happy with the way the NMM turned out on this very, very nice figure by Stormtrooper Minis. It is satisfying to see progress after what feels figuratively like banging your head against a brick wall.
I forget who it was who [...]
MkIV MALE 1917
This is the MkIV Male. The mark four had definitely significant improvements from the Mark one. Some of the main improvements were the improved armour and the re sitting of the fuel tank. A total of over 1200 mark four tanks were built [...]
Ancient Roman Legionary, W_I_P
Lately, I’ve been painting several figures at once. As I paint with oils, and due to the slower drying time, I rotate work on them so I’m able to keep busy.
