Phil's Workbench

A daily updated blog typed by someone with painty hands, oil under his fingernails and the smell of solder in his nostrils who likes making all sort of models and miniatures. And fixing things.

Unpainted figures

The problem with going to shows is that you see all sorts of goodies. Of course this is also one of the benefits !

These are new editions to the Montys Models range sold by . Some nicly modeled workmen drinking tea.

Since Hellingly is modelled under construction they will be a good finishing touch for the centre of the layout. Not cheap at £1.30 each but then I don't need many. Besides, on a small layout they don't get lost. Each can be painted carefully and people will notice it !

At present they are stuck to my general purpose painting stick which also doubles as a "holder" when soldering. The flesh colour is from Revell, the only paint they make that I find superior to the Humbrol version. The later is a bit "pink" although a few ruddy faced individuals to vary the mix don't hurt.
