I too am interested in the axe and pick-axe head. Is it a state secret, or would you be willing to reveal your painting technique for them, as they look excellent?

Off the point, but why does my spell checker not recognize "axe"? Is it one of those words that our old colonies across the Atlantic spell differently?

Yeah mate, I believe them "frightfully rebellious Colonials" say Ax..........

Not like us cultured 'Antipodeans'

Ahem............Yes, I am keen to know 'Grandma-Hugills' ole family metal painting technique !

Can you do a close up of the axe and pick head please.

Sure thing!

AND................

A single section of Churchill track to my address here ?
I just had a germ of an idea and I reckon a section of track would make it

Resin would be fine !

Nice additions. For the tools, might just have applied good old drybrushing? These tools are again with molded on clamps? They look good enough. Unless you want the unpainted brass bling. I feel no need anymore to do those 4-6 parts tiny and delicate pe things.

Hey gents, so the metal is fairly straight forward. Base coat of Tamiya gun metal, then a wash of ak fresh mud (although any brown diluted oil would do), then I give a little dry brushed highlight of Vallejo natural steel, finally a coat of sin industries filter for dark green (which is a very thinned down brown) which tones everything back down again

Stunning work Tom, looks Fantastic
