ThePurplePrimer Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Just finished these squaddies ( stage one of a larger commission ) 4mm scale from Dan Taylor Modelsworks Edited February 13, 2014 by ThePurplePrimer 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 This one has been sat half done on my bench for weeks Not for an order just did him based on a conversation I had with someone and he sounded like an interesting character Here we have a 4mm scale Gentleman Farmer impatiently waiting for delivery of something ( my guess is a new tractor ) - he has his gold watch in his hand ready to tear someone off a strip for being late. He is wearing wellies but I get the feeling they dont see much mud. This is a 'simple' conversion of a Dapol figure - a hat swap and his legs carved around a bit to give him some boots rather than smart shoes He was fun as I had a mental picture of him in my head - he is now off to to the varnishing bench 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePurplePrimer Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) " Never Work with Animals or Children " Good advice - tricky, tricky, tricky This is a 4mm hunt scene ( Langleys ) sent to me for painting by a client plus a Dart Casting one hidden in there NB - I really need to get the hang of this posh camera - pulling hair out. ( I need to retake this - fuzzy ) please click to see larger Edited March 5, 2014 by ThePurplePrimer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted March 5, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 5, 2014 Beautiful work Rob.I've always wanted to do this scene myself but was put off by the age of the Langley castings.However, they do look good after a paint job in a craftsman's hands.

ThePurplePrimer Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks for the kind words Robin I can't in all honesty say these were the easiest models to paint but most figures will give in if you throw enough effort at them and if it's a set or scene you really need then I suppose it's worth it ? The dogs though are actually quite nice - I would happily do those again 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold gwrrob Posted March 7, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 7, 2014 How many figures and dogs do you get in the Langley pack then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hi Robin Actually that's a good question I was sent this to paint by the client - I think he had them in a drawer for some time. The Langley box lists them as Ref. F34 What arrived in that box was 6 horses and 6 riders ( two of them ladies ) One man on foot serving drinks 8 Fox Hounds I added the fox ( Dart Castings ) from my own stock NB I can't be sure thats what comes as standard in that set HTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePurplePrimer Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 OINK ! Here is another 7mm one I have no idea why he is carrying a pig - any suggestions ? Oh and remember ... A pig is for life - it's not just for breakfast 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium petethemole Posted March 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 13, 2014 He's just won the Bowling for a Pig at the village fete. There was a time when the prize was indeed a live piglet. Many country people kept a single pig until it was big enough for slaughter, so getting your 'starter set' pig free was an advantage.

Fat Controller Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Cracking work- I like the tartan hat on the 7mm figure. Did you hand-paint that? I once did a kilt on an Airfix Black Watch figure (quite a bit larger than yours), and almost went boss-eyed.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes hand painted the hat - fun but fiddly When I get around to building my own layout I think I will have standard issues hats - in a PLAIN colour :-) I have one of those Black Watch kits somewhere - I might even get the time to build and paint it one day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
