I had two ammo feeder figs left over so I converted them to battery pack men for the radio. The wire is de-ravelled guitar wire.

  1. I ordered some more FAS soluble colour dye from Auckland. It arrived today. Monday .. very cold today.
    Anyways I ordeed dome black and some yellow dye which I will use to mix in with the polyfilla to give the ground a propper brown shade.
    I discovered that plain brown dye mixed with white polyfilla gives a bright brown colour… which I’m non too happy about.
    So the addition of black and yellow should remedy the next batch.

  2. Good progress. Am interested to see how your moulds turn out too. Seems like a good idea.
