Jaz Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Tidying up, so complete painting of items which includes Langley Models rmweb814langleymodel3 The big question was how to paint them, modern is more orange, but the items they are hung on are more dated to my mind, how long has it been orange, so do it red? Then if I did rope should I do it white? or rope colour? But I plumped fr red, I have a vague memory of a lifebelt being thrown and it having a red rope...so you could see it? Regardless...I liked the rope red. edit = As for the wood I decided it new wood not faded wood.

Ooops! ... just look what happened to all that pot of thinners .... must remember to put another entry in the Clumsy Club Thread ....... ......... Oh, I am sooo sorry dear .... ..... I do not need my wife to upset the thinners, although upset thinners = upset wife. We work at the same table, I am modelling, she is doing high powered maths. I managed to tip my thinners over, fortunately not too much. Upset wife really means she said, "There is a strong smell of paint in here", and opened the window. There is still a strong smell, and I really need to do some painting. Oh well, back to cutting plastic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold ChrisN Posted February 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23, 2014 28mm, find us some 00 gauge ones!!!! 'Frayed knot. I think, although I will never say I am right, I think that I know most 25mm, 20mm, 1/72, 1/76 figures available and there are no dad's army figures. Having said that there may be Home Guard figures in metal. I will have to have a look but none that look as accurate as those. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Chris N It has to be THOSE from Dad Army, because we have a running joke that 3 of our friends that we met in rl match three of the characters. A little bit by looks, BUT so much by character. (luckily they have NOT tried to match us.....phew....luckily there seems to be no female models from the show that I can think of LOL, and it wouldn't be the Wendy Richards one!!! Am wondering how I might be able to tweak it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and did you think there was enough hose? Jaz My brother painted it for me, but I think the colours were just randomly selected from what he had. He usually paints wargaming figures and vehicles which is probably why it looks like army green! There seemed to be enough hose for me, but I guess you ciudad always use thin wire or sleeping if you needed more. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Rammy Well I think the old green paint, which was popular on houses and stuff works really well.
