some Crusaders

Just 5 "Knights" from Italeri... to add to the attackers of Silves.

Napoleonic Suiss and more SG-1 pictures

I've painted these guys more than an year ago, but on individual bases. Now I decided that all my napoleonic figures should be based in groups. These were the first and they are the 2 companies of the 4eme régiment Suisse. Which companies I don't know and I am not sure about the accuracy of the uniforms...

They were so well glued that I had to glue them as they were on the bigger base. Each base is 4x8 cm.

Now, Pascal from Sam's Minis World asked me for some more pictures of the figures used on that little dio. Here they are. Clic on them to zoom them.

Stargate SG-1 dio 1/72

Hi there!

First, thanks for the nice words on the previous post.

I now strongly believe movies give a bad idea on modellers! I've "met" so many great people but in cinema, most modellers are sociopaths trying to rule or destroy the world! Well, most are, but just one tabletop at a time! :D

Anyway, I am back into action. Among other things (stay tunned for the next few days) I finished this little dio about SG-1.
January was the month to start new groupbuilds at Modelismo na Net and one of them was Sci-fi (in movies and TV shows). Excellent works already done!
These are my final photos. Figures from Caesar (US Modern Army) and Italeri's NATO pilots and ground crew. The result was not what I intended at first but, hey, I had to try!

Trees and all other stuff from my own making, including that crude DHD...

 The side of the base, small flat rocks (Chlorite schist, I think) from a recent trip.... 

Hope you like it!

Waterloo 2015 - Light Companies 1st Reg. Foot Guards

The figures from the last post but based.
I forgot to mention, the figures are from Italeri box British & Scots Infantry, which is an original from ESCI.
These bases are made of k-line (foam board, it's material used by architects to do scale models) which is easy "dig" so I could hide the bases of the figures, as I want them to look like they were on wood. They are 2x6cm.
They didn't come out with the same effects, and that kind of bothers me, but I'll leave it as it is, at least for now. What I did on purpose was having different "poses" (only one of the "companies", the second to be assembled). The are shooting over the wall (there will be a wall in the end) and it comes a time when the more rigid formation we see in the other base is no longer possible.

As figuras do último post agora nas bases.
Não referi antes, as figuras são da caixa da Italeri, British & Scots Infantry, que por sua vez é um orginal na ESCI.
Estas bases são feitas em k-line (ou cartão pluma - ver o link acima) que é muito fácil de cortar/escavar, de forma a esconder (quase) as bases das figuras, de forma a parecer estarem em cima de tábuas ou partes de mobilia. Estas bases têm 2x6 cm.
Os efeitos de sujidade não sairam como eu queria, sairam com tons diferentes (é o que dá fazer as coisas com alguns dias de diferença, em vez de ter tudo pronto para a pintura ao mesmo tempo!) mas embora me aborreça, já não vou mexer mais. O que fiz intencionalmente foi a variedade de poses (apenas para a segunda "companhia"), onde um atira de cima para baixo (estarão a atirar por cima de um muro), outro tem em mira algum inimigo numa posição mais "diagonal", enfim, retratam aquela altura em que já não há lugar ao "formalismo" do carregar e disparar ao mesmo tempo e para o mesmo lado.

Waterloo 2015 - first figures / primeiras figuras

The Light companies from the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, 1st Regiment of Foot Guards
100 men each = 5 figures each 

They are not finished yet, as a base is still needed. And some dirt on those uniforms, as they endured a lot!

A companhias ligeiras dos 2º e 3º Batalhões do 1º Regimento de Guardas. 
100 homens cada = 5 figuras cada

Ainda falta a base e talvez alguma sujidade, uma vez que passaram por muito - principalmente uma noite bem chuvosa em que tiveram de reforçar as defesas da sua posição!
