I've decided to do something a little different and build a small vignette. Okay that's not something really different for me but this time there is not going to be any vehicles.
I am going to have 3-4 figures, a horse and a cart.
Its been awhile since I used plastic molded figures. Boy I forgot how much work these are and I can never get the results that Vinnie did. Oh well they will have to do.
I have two of these figure sets, and I will be using the ones in winter clothing.
The horse is from Dragon and the cart is from Bronco models but had Lion Roar on the sprue. Of course I am using Hornet heads.
here is the third figure which required some minor conversion. I wanted him to look like he was walking,

No pressure then.
These figures are taking me forever and I have not even started painting. Still some more equipment to add but Im getting there.
The beginning of the base.

They are looking good. The modifications you did improve them a lot.
Keep on the good job.

Thanks Bryan and Olivier.
Small update, on the base. Added some foam as a support and then I added a cliff wall using Woodland scenic rock molds.

I like seeing your builds evolve Shawn. I don't know much about Mountain Troops so I'll follow with interest.

I don't either Vincent
Just building what's in the box.
Small update on the base. The rock face has been finished and sculptamold was added to the ground. Some kitty litter was applied as well. Now the fun part starts.

Rockface has been painted and tile ground applied to the base for some texture.
