NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 The grey figures that came in the bag and the brown figures that came in the box, are they used? Can these actually be clased as an plastic kit? GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The grey figures that came in the bag and the brown figures that came in the box, are they used?Can these actually be clased as an plastic kit?All of them are second hand. Sometimes what I want is no longer in production so second hand is the only option. The Prussians were advertised as 300 pieces but I guessed there were six sets, a few short of 300. The price was right so I bought them. Do I class them as kits? No, but they are Airfix and I grew up fighting with Airfix's little men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 Little men? You can that again! 😆 How much were they? I am interested in how much these figures are worth. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Symmons Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hi Ratch.I echo GNR Gordon's request. I always look at your small figure painting and I'm always impressed at the level of detail you manage to get in such small figures, even though I don't always comment. All I can say is you must have very good eye sight, a very steady hand and the patience of Job. Painting that many small figures would drive me up the wall, even just thinking abouit it makes me shiver. So well done on your Waterloo set and keep them coming.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 I couldn't paint anything. I don't have steady hand when painting anything big or small! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Symmons Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hi LeoneYou must like Braille scale armour, good-on-yeah. I'm interested in what you make of the venerable Bristol F2 B, I made this kit at the start of this year (See my post Making some Old Dogs) Are you going to try the rigging? Ratch also made this kit a few months back. If you fancy a challenge try the Roden version, I've just finished that one as a nightfighter, took me 3 weeks. Looking forwards to seeing the results, and keep them coming. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom P.S. Have a Merry Christmas. JtP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forwards to seeing the results, and keep them coming. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom P.S. Have a Merry Christmas. JtPI've got a small but growing collection of 1/72 vehicles which make a nice change of pace and a different challenge from the usual 1/72 aircraft or 1/35 AFVs that dominate my shelves. I add them if happen to stumble across a cheap box on my travels and hide them away for those days when lack of mojo might be fighting the urge to start a more complex build. Built the Airfix F2B years ago, complete with rigging and a little extra detail. Was so happy to find another after a long gap. However its in the very pretty Special Edition box and I'm reluctant to anything more than fondle the cardboard (much as with the Sopwith Pup I bought a week earlier). Will keep my eye out for another though which might actually make it to the bench...maybe. What I want to find is a DH Moth so I can do a minor mod and paint in alternative markings. Typical they have disappeared from my local sellers in the last few months. One day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Symmons Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi LeonF Glad you like the smaller scale AFV's & soft-skins if you see any of the old ESCI kits don't hesitate but snap them up you might be very surprised especially as they're no over 25 or more years old. Also have you tried any Roden army stuff, more challenging than Airfix but a much gtreater range. Remember we do this for fun John the Pom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 These arrived yesterdayThe French Line Infantryman was listed as incomplete, but the price made it worth a punt. Unfortunately there wasn't a head with shako 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 With regards to the missing head Ratch, is that a factory error when these two packs were made? GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 No, its a second hand kit and some of the parts were used. The seller said it was only good for spares. It hasn't been in the Airfix range since 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
