As promised here's a few pictures of what I was able to paint using my
mobile kit while up in Leicester this week. I only had two nights away from home but I think I got quite a lot done in the few hours I had spare.

I was able to paint all of these and give them a coat of
Vallejo satin Varnish to protect them. When I got home all I had left to do was apply a coat of
Testors Dullcote and then add static grass, tufts etc. Job done!
I'm really pleased with these models, especially as I haven't been able to get anything else completed in weeks.

ReplyDeleteVery nice. Well done. Did you make the scenery yourself?
ReplyDeleteThe MG Bunkers are all Battlefront (Product XBX02) and are cast in resin. The Outhouse building is also resin but I can't remember who made it. It's hollow with the roof attached separately. Its too small to fit a base inside so I fixed the roof on rather than allow it to be removed.
DeleteAhem...good work, Lee ;)
ReplyDeleteGood work Lee - a constructive evening or two there...
ReplyDeleteVery nice work especially on the go.
ReplyDeleteLooks great -- you wouldn't know that these were an "on-the-go" job. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius Lee. Excellent idea and more than excellent results
ReplyDeleteThese all look fantastic Lee. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Lee!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that your time away was spent productively.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while but I also used to take a mobile painting station with me when (long ago) I was working out of Horsham and had to spend days at a time at Gatwick.

They look great, I wish mine looked that good from my regular painting tabble much less a mobile set up.
ReplyDeleteBloomin well worth the effort I think. Good show.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work...lotta work for 2 days
ReplyDeleteYou need to go on the road more often
ReplyDeleteBravo, Lee. FAR better than watching crappy TV. Excellent dedication and effort, Sir!
ReplyDeleteVery well done Lee. Your travel painting set might give me an idea of how about I should organize myself during my nightly sessions
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of Call of Duty:Modern Warfare when I'm looking at those miniature bunkers.
ReplyDeleteThey look great.
