Great work on the Walrus and it's base Richard, they look excellent.
I like your 'impressionist modeller' terminology; very good indeed

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

A little bit more done on the Dutch farmhouse.
Another KGL regiment, the Light Battalion Grubenhagen, has been started. Mostly re-paints with a few new figures.
Initially, I thought they wore green jackets, like the Rifles, but the image I found was incorrectly captioned. Another site confirmed their colours.

The best thing, is to keep on building. Clap your hands, stamp your feet, wiggle your fingers…

Thanks Howard, they both started off as background builds, but I'm between projects this week, so there may be a little spurt of accelerated building/painting

The KGL Grubenhagen are now complete and in the Gallery
On 6 March I received a small package. It was the missing part of the SR-N1 Hovercraft, thanks to the Airfix Spares Department. I cleaned it up and primed with grey, then airbrushed white. I may have handled it too soon in my impatience and had to re-paint over blemishes. The wheels are very fragile. To eliminate the chance of knocking them off, I cut three pieces from a paint brush ferrule and fixed them underneath. This raises the whole model, as if in flight.
More in the Gallery

Re: 2024 bench butchering... by Ratch
You always do a good sea base, Ratch and the Walrus dio really looks good. More great Napoleonic stuff and the SR-N1, which I've long thought to be one of Airfix's more imaginative releases.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Thanks Shaun, I have a rather play-worn Corgi SR-N1 too

Just started this A1373.
I started by washing the runners in warm, soapy water. They were left to air dry. Then some research.
