The two pilots on the right are by Black Dog. Very well cast/sculpted and in interesting poses.

Think I'm done. A despatch rider taking a few minutes of peace by a stream, while a French pussy cat looks on, hopeful of getting something to eat. #histscalemodels

This is the Cromwell version. I'm very impressed with Black Dog stuff, their figures are great.

Think I have the beginnings of a diorama idea for my despatch rider and his motorcycle. He'll be taking a rest and a tea break on the bank of a stream. There may be a friendly dog or cat involved too. #histscalemodels

Never built anything by Copper State Models before, beautifully sculpted, and needed absolutely no cleaning up or sanding, assembly very easy and accurate. Not cheap kits, but I'm very impressed. #histscalemodels

We spent Thursday picking up all the windfall and collecting the best pears and apples from our trees, to avoid them being blown off the tree.

Been experimenting with AK two part resin water. Looks good, but didn't seal the base well enough and the stuff started seeping out the bottom. Grrr. Better make sure the main shell hole is properly sealed before I fill it otherwise there's going to be an unholy mess. #histscalemodels

Trial fit. Not yet happy with the composition, and only have a rough idea of where the two Tommies will be standing at the moment, but it will come after some top level head scratching. Still not happy with the look of the shed track yet.
