Eventually...

I hope to have photos of all the miniatures I've got or have painted for other people here. My camera skills are rather basic though and I've read not too much at all about photography. I shall eventually get better at it I hope. Here's a couple of photos of my (always very neat) painting table...

Loads of lovely old lead....

Here's some 15mm/1:100 scale resin aircraft from Armaments in Miniature.

The Typhoon I did as a birthday present for Earl, I think the transfers I used were from Goblin Factory. They're very good regarding colour & register but they are very thin. The only place it really shows is with the fuselage roundels. Next time I do one of these with invasion stripes on it I'll remember to fill in behind them with white.The Il-2 is the later 'arrow wing' version and is wearing a late war camouflage scheme based on one of the two standard cammo templates and colour photos I found on the net of an Il-2 unit based at Prague airport in June 1945. The Bell P-39 I finished as a 'Kobra' for the mid-war period. I really like AIM's aircraft. Great detail, given their size; minimal assembly - one big piece essentially with little bits like aerial masts & bombs separate; excellent casting quality and minimal cleanup required. I have a Fokker C.X and a Ju-88 for my Finns, and a Ju-87D/G but haven't finished them yet. I'll eventually wind up getting loads of these as aircraft modelling is an older hobby for me than wargaming, and I like 'em because I'm a bit limited for space in my flat. If I keep collecting I'm going to have to move into a house!
