Wonderfully detailed set from Crippled God Foundry.
The truck in the background is an Airfix Bedford QL Gun Portee
with a 6 pdr anti tank gun still very much in bits.
The kit is about 50 years old.
Assembly was full of problems
until I found out that plastic cement goes off.
My glue was less than 50 years old but it was well past it.
A new tube of Revell allowed some progress.
The crippled God ones are the two young ladies,
the pipe smoker and the drunk.
Forgemaster provided the four travellers
who bear some resemblance to four Hobbits we all know.
The Halfling Trader with pumpkin and barrow
is from Print Goes Ever On.
All excellent!
The drunk is finished (well, look at the state of him)
And the other two bases belong to one of the ladies
and the tall pipe smoker.
I used brown earth on them all and 4mm grass
so that they could slip, un-noticed among the Hobbit Holes.
I may not even use the bases though their detail is excellent.
However, I'm not sure if the spiky plant is meant to be grass
or an odd succulent plant.
I matt varnished him and the base items
but used gloss varnish on the bottles and the spilt beer
as well as on the metal work.
That includes a fancy medal thing on his left shoulder,
perhaps signifying that he's the mayor of Michel Delving.
I'd forgotten how matt varnish dulls the whole thing.
As well as old glue, I'm using some very old paints.
The yellow jacket didn't turn out so good.
