What great pals you've got Dicky! Good catch on that strap, I'm sure the driver just needed a little extra 'spring' in his support while lounging about waiting for her royal highness to get done speechifying.

[Paul P.]

Paul.

Heck,the Sundodgers didn't get ashore for the practice,like we had.....we're bound to be better stayers,eh?

Even better for me,being REME,hardly had to buy a beer all exercise,cos of 'The Tankies'!!!

[Paul P.]

As per the female form shes undecided if she is coming to Telford. i keep telling her itll be boring and nothing for her to do and its just models and Dicks not going etc etc..........so it might just be me

Paul

[Deleted]

No worries,mate!....We'll get all the 'Eye Candy' we need on the Comp table,....who needs an attractive woman getting in the way??

[Paul P.]

Who need women Cee Bee

Managed to get the platfrom fixed onto the chariot, this was done with ties accross the hanging straps that were adjustable when the leather stretched so that the platform could be kept level











I have just come accross a problem though, the driver dudes left leg doesnt actually touch the platform now, it did when i positioned it and on subsequent trials it was fine, now after its been painted theres a gap underneath you could get a challenger tank through . I think the only solution to this, other than ripping his leg off, is to make something like a sheepskin to go under him and fill the gap

WHOA WHOA WHOA! That's where I have to agree to DISAGREE! LOL Chariot looks better and better every time you post an update... can't wait to see the whole thing completed.

[vlpbruce]

Looking great Paul. I think the sheepskin idea would be a great fix.

[wbill76]

Sheepskin to the rescue! Sounds like the perfect solution Paul. Nice work on that platform for sure.

[Steve Zuleski]

Paul, I still can't get over the leather straps, consistantly weathered throughout and the tones are great, really well done. Great work buddy!

Cheers, SKi.

[Leon]

Excellent work on the chariot Paul,really making good progress.

[Paul P.]

Cheers Andy, only joking about the fairer sex, who else would do the washing up

Thanks Bruce sheepskin on the way

Cheers Bill

Many thanks Steve, there are a few things on this build that have taken a long time to paint, but im really pleased with the result so far

Many thanks Leon

Many thanks Dicky, I reckon that lazy dude has moved his legs around when I left him, they fitted well at first, perhaps hes not so lazy after all

Looking forward to Telford, be good to catch up

Paul

[wbill76]

I think you added too much weight with the cloak Paul, he had to shift his position to accommodate and show off that lovely pattern!

[Paul P.]

Bill i just think he wanted something comfy to sit on so lifted his leg in the hope id make him a sheepskin rug

So back from Telford, had a great weekend. apart from parking , and on with Boudicca, well the chariot and horse anyway

Made the sheepskin rug for lazy arse to sit on



and speaking of behinds, made a start on the horses end







Bit more to do on the horse but the dude sits better now, i only hope i can remove the sheepskin when its gone off, or its going to be a right pain to paint the underneath

Paul

[deafpanzer]

I love horse's rear!!! Far better than my Chally rear I have to say...

Glad you had fun at Telford... now show us what did you bring home???

[robbo]

Fantastic painting mister P. Tell me again what colour to use to achieve that lovely yellow wood please

[Paul P.]

Cheers Andy ill put some pics up of what i bought later

Robbo many thanks mate. the colour is a mix of raw sienna and yellow and a touch of white, for your ship colour though i would go raw sienna and yellow and add a touch of orange

Paul

[Steve Zuleski]

The "paint" looks great. The pony, that is. Ruck On!

Cheers, Ski.
