A thought occurs - would you like a pic of my Enfield Mk IV as a reference for usage markings etc.?
Give me a day or so - got the last of the storage runs to do then I will dig it out. Does the kit have the spike bayonet? I can't remember of the Mujahadeen ever used them now....

I'll be honest Joe, Vignette and Dios really lend a certain something to models i.e. context. The problem i have is space. Dios do take up space and its why 1/72 is starting to appeal to my way of modelling.BigWall wrote: Mon Nov 09, 2020 9:59 pm Nice progress. I'm definitely watching with interest as you pull this together. I'd like to try my hand at a vignette sometime.
I have the same problem. Even a small vignette would just take up too much space.Donkeywalloper wrote: Wed Nov 11, 2020 9:10 amI'll be honest Joe, Vignette and Dios really lend a certain something to models i.e. context.

Digger, you sure know how to make a chap feel happy (that probably sounded a bit weird, but you get the gist). Its not perfect and it never will be, but am amazed that this weird little contraption of a glorified Fish Net, Plastic Pot and some supplied batteries can make chopped up bits of Flock stand on end to look like Grass. Main thing is, it works.
As always Digger, my very best to you and family.

I took the plunge and its been sat in a draw unused for a while now. Watched some YT Vids and thought "Hell, lets have a go".Tomcat64 wrote: Mon Nov 23, 2020 3:21 pm Just been doing a bit of catching up DW and great to see that dio taking shape.
I've toyed with the electric tea strainer for static grass myself but never pulled the trigger - having seen your results I'm now thinking I should take the plunge(or maybe put that on a Christmas list since I'm in the same club... tools are more acceptable than kits apparently...)
In any case it's great to see you're still at it and still posting
Take care mate![]()

Your figure looks great! Much better than anything I've managed to throw back in the box out of frustration.
