roger Posted 22 July , 2005 Share Posted 22 July , 2005 It's taken me ages to finish this figure and it's not the best pic in the world but it is an unusual subject so I think it is worth sharing. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 22 July , 2005 Share Posted 22 July , 2005 Nice job! That's a delicate assembly job and an arkward painting task - well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 22 July , 2005 Author Share Posted 22 July , 2005 Thank you, the spokes were individually cut from wire and glued into place. Not an enjoyable experience but I think the end result is worth it Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 22 July , 2005 Share Posted 22 July , 2005 Wish I still had the eyes for it. The whole standard of models and modelling has improved so much since I last lifted a brush to paint one. Did win the prize for the best single figure and best in show in the Spanish nationals in 1978 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrel Posted 25 July , 2005 Share Posted 25 July , 2005 Roger, it was a Rifleman of the 95th Regiment, later Rifle Brigade, 1815, in 75mm from Hinchliffe - I was doing Napoleonics then. Don't have the eysight to do these now and if I did the wife would never leave me in peace to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pte1643 Posted 25 July , 2005 Share Posted 25 July , 2005 It's taken me ages to finish this figure <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Roger, it does seem like ages ago we were playing the "Guess-the-Bits-'O'-Figure" game. Nice to see it finished, excellent job as usual. Any chance of a shot of the other side, we cant see his Plume from this angle? Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soren Posted 26 July , 2005 Share Posted 26 July , 2005 I think it's splendid Roger! Whats the next project? Soren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 23 August , 2005 Author Share Posted 23 August , 2005 Thanks for the replies. Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been away at sea for a month. The cyclist is a 90mm kit by Friulmodel. Not a surprisingly an Italian manufacturer. I'll post a pic of the other side soon. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 24 October , 2005 Author Share Posted 24 October , 2005 I know I said soon but here are some pics showing the cockerel feather plume, as you can see photography is not a strongpoint of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us all see when you have done another ...please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 24 October , 2005 Author Share Posted 24 October , 2005 Cheers Spike. I suppose it's more the camera than the photography but I was trying not to blame the tools I just ordered this figure, hope my turns out half aswell as the ones shown on the manufacturers website. link Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then charge more..... Let us see your finished figure of this new one, as you say if it looks half as good as the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike10764 Posted 24 October , 2005 Share Posted 24 October , 2005 (edited) Whadya think, field cap or Tschapka? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tschapka , definitely Tschapka Mainly because if I'm pronouncing it right, it's a strange word to say....Tschapka...Tschapka Edited 24 October , 2005 by spike10764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger Posted 24 October , 2005 Author Share Posted 24 October , 2005 Tschapka it is then I can't wait to get started again the Bersaglieri cyclist was the last figure i painted and it seems like ages ago. Cutting the spokes from wire and gluing them in place put me off modelling for awhile my eyes went a bit Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now know to call it a Chap-ka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
