Cant wait to repaint him!

my various sandies from way back, first is a medicom stormy altered to a sandy way before the medi sandy was available,used a koto sandy for the bits..

 

[hurricane]

good ol' marmits..

 

[hurricane]

Then something smaller..

 

[Crimsonbob]

With a respray and weathering the marmits are still the best

 

[hemble]

Great work Hurricane and yeah the Marmit Sandies are still great. And love the 3-3/4" figures as well.

On a side note guys does anyone have any ideas how to get the bend out of the Hasbro 1/6 dewbacks tail.

Ron, inside the tall is a piece of wire. I cut mine open a bit more and packed it full of newspaper to keep the shape.
The next one I do I think I may do a little more surgery and thicken up the wire inside to be able to bend it e
ven more.

Hi All

Started on the dewback and rider the other day and thought that I would show some pics. As you all know I can't stand joints being shown so I used a clay mixed with wood glue to fill in the joints.

The saddle is made using thin cork board then covered in leather and the bum rest is from a WW2 German life jacket. I'm going to pack this dewback and rider with heaps of gear as I'm going to make it a long recon unit.

[Crimsonbob]

[Chakaman]

That looks great Ron. I am looking at doing one of these down the road, so as many work in progress pictures as possible will always be appreciated!

Hi All

Thanks guys and I forgot to thank Dorgs (cheers mate) for the suggestion on the tail instead of paper I used banage wadding and it worked really well.

Hi All

Well I think the dewback is loaded up enough except for one more water battle. The rider has all his gear as well and now I just have to start painting and weathering.
