I finally managed to get to a model shop and buy some more corrugated iron sheeting, so that I can finish the model of the Plantation House.
To give the finished model some life I added some climbing plant on the verandah.
And then thee are these fellows.
You will see more of them in the next week or so.
It looks great finished, and that corrugated iron is perfect. The gunboat crew are very nice as well, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them - they have a lot of character about them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. The images show the corrugated iron a bit more brown than it is in reality - a fault of the lighting. I have two small outbuildings ti go with this that are under way now. The sailors were lots of fun and so quick to paint. The same company does some German colonial infantry that I think are a must now.
DeletePlantation house turned out great! So did the sailors.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. Both turned out well. Bu the end of this week I hope to have the Pom Pom gun and crew completed for the gunboat...and that will end that sub-project.
DeleteGreat job Mark, looking forward to seeing this on the table top.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thanks Stu. I expect it won't be until July at the earliest that these will see tabletop action...The armies are still being built.
DeleteThe plantation house is a beaut Mark - be nice to see the matrosen on their Boot too
ReplyDeleteThe gun crew are enroute now and I hope to have the boat completed next weekend.
