Czech Legion Cavalry, 1919. 2.

Back in October I experimented with a Czech Legion Cavalry trooper for Rodger. Now that the decks are clearer it is time to crack on with the rest of the unit. Santa brought me a rotary tool so there has been frantic grinding and filing going on in the "studio". Rotary tools make a lot of mess. I was forced to get the hoover out.

First five complete here on temporary bases. Rodger will base them when all are done. Five more to come.

Biting the Bullet

Santa brought me some interesting gifts last Christmas. He gave me a 1/48 kit of a Bristol M1 C. It came up rather well for use on the Mespot tabletop.

Sadly, the 1/48 kit of a Vickers FB5 "Gunbus" ended up in the bin last night as I screamed, shouted and ranted my frustrations at it. It was a pathetic scene as I had a tantrum and hurled the box across the room. I am an adult (so I am told) and should know better.

WW2 Italian reinforcements for the Western Desert.

Some extras for a tabletop force that I painted for a client some time ago. All are from Perry Miniatures. All will be based by the client.

ITWW 21 Moto Guzzi Trike.

ITWW 11 Breda 37 machine gun and crew

ITWW 10 81mm mortar and crew 

12th Australian Light Horse, 1918.

Done! These chaps, so a little bird tells me, will be making their first appearance at the York show in early February. They look almost identical to the 4th ALH (pictured earlier) save for the tiny detail of the patch on the shoulder. Again, all miniatures from Blaze Away with added saddle clutter and swords made from greenstuff.
