Hi Moni just did a quick search 1/35 figures are really pricy hobby easy have a good selection ranging from £8.99 EACH unbelievable to £7.99 for 6 don't know what the postage costs would be.
Ok Guys and Galls this is my worst subject so be gentle with me here is my first set of figures for the dio sorry in advance I know they will let everything else down but Its the best I can do.
Thanks Alan I am disappointed with the figures but I never can do them well, I am always in awe of people who can especially in small scale I have regularly seen figures in 1/72 better than mine in 1/24.
I think there good KP , I struggle with figures in 1/24 scale , the bigger they are the more you have to do them so your not alone in that respect but I think there good mate
Try using a darker wash on them and dry brushing highlights over the top to give the figures a bit of depth
Thanks moni your figure work is oustanding, one might say head and shoulders above others but then yours seem to stop at the shoulders,Alan I have never thought of using a wash on figures wouldn't even know where to start but maybe that's where I am going wrong.
I like it KP, coming along nicely. Figures are often the difficult part for many of us. But try Alan's suggestion, it may help to bring out the detail a little more.
Thanks for all the info and encouragement. Now I have just realized another thing I need with this dio does anyone know do they make a model of a 1/24-25 generator you know, one of those big ones you see when a streets power has gone out as a temp till the power company sorts it.
I have just realized all these cameras and lighting will need power and there will be lots of lighting.
Also I figured it would be a good place to hide the batteries.
I mean it's not like I am short of space on the dio, my trouble is where to stop I thought about a mobile cafe for the actors and technicians and maybe a winibago for the stars, if I keep adding to it it will never get finished.
Hi Guys and Galls I have decided to add a beverages trailer to the dio and it will be towed by this poor old girl
she is missing a wheel apart from a bit of cosmetic work she is ok I have gone through my spares box and from the dozens of sets of wheels i have I dont hav a single set of four so I think I will do 2 small wheels on the front an 2 larger wheels on the rear, I dont think it will look too out of place with the roof chop.
I will be scratch building the trailer got a few ref picie's I want to do this as there will be a lot of boring Tar Mac on the dio otherwise.
Hi all couldn't resist putting all what I've got together so far I am quite pleased with the results.
the matchbox is where the generator will be when complete as I think its about the right size, not sure yet as I have not started to build it yet. cant find a kit of one so will have to be another scratch built one.
Thanks Moni and Si glad you like it. Si I have checked everywhere I can think of and the only 1/24 gen I can fine is £250.00 I kid you not so will deff be scratch building one.
Chuffing hell, that's pricey! How about this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ATLAS-EDITIONS-CARTERS-FODEN-GENERATOR-TRACTOR-AND-LOW-LOADER-/221449242223?pt=UK_Car_Parts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&hash=item338f67466f don't know the scale but cheap enough to hack about.
Or make something looking like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Royal-Model-1-35-U-S-Electric-Generator-Pacific-Harbor-WWII-529-/171021408393?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item27d1ab9889
