Another Project.

Because I'm such a nice guy I decided to help Brian out with his WW2 Japanese,by building two Zero fighters,but that's not all,oh no,I also decided to paint some plastic Japanese infantry to supplement his Japanese infantry . I accordingly sent away for a box from Warlord Games,and they arrived yesterday.

Beautifully illustrated box,and 5 sprues,c/w bases....................

Detail of one sprue(they are all the same!) and "Instruction sheet" identifying the parts.

Washers stuck to plastic bases to give them weight and stability,and the glue I bought to stick all the pieces together-Maybe it's just my simplistic approach and out-look on life,but I can not understand why they choose to put all the packs,bottles and scabbards on separate tiny bits,why not mould the bits onto the bodies?(of course I know why-diversity,but it would make life much more simple for the likes of me!!)-the glue,by the way,sticks very fast leaving no chance of readjusting where you have put the various items!

The seven figures I have made up so far-there were eight,but that one went into the bin after "umpteen" attempots to get it to lie flat(a prone figure firing a machine gun-there won't be any machine gunners in my squads!!)-Another "gripe"-why the "ballerina" pose of two of the figures-trying to get them stuck vertically to their bases was a nightmare!!I will start the painting procedure tomorrow,and see how they come out.
