    Finally I finished my 1:16 scale XVIIth Century Dutch Musketeer!
    The work in progress was shown somewhere in part 2.
    I am satisfied about the result. Later on (when I have some more time) I will let the figure stand on some grass or whatever, this piece of wood is just something temporary. But those pix will follow another time when finished.

    I have yet to contribute to this thread...photo wise anyway.
    I was at one time an avid modeler, and at some point I will dig out some of my past projects and get some photos of them.

    @Uufflakke - Wow! Remind us again about the details....you didn't make the cordage yourself did you?

    Also what is a Uufflakke anyway?

    Quick WIP for the COnnie:

    Buglord, my next project is the Eduard 1/48 Bf-110C. I started it a while back while waiting for the Future to dry on my Mustang and got the instrument panel and cockpit glued together but stopped there. We traded a couple of threads on this - started a thread on it around April 9 and you showed my your E model (I think) in winter scheme.

    I've not selected a paint scheme for mine as yet but was thinking desert maybe. I'll probably get on the 110 later in the summer - big vacation coming up and then a kitchen reno.

    @nickdanger3: I made the cords myself. I used a red, whit and blue cord and turned it around and around. Afterwards I used some glue otherwise it didn't hold this way. I made some parts of the rapier's haft myself 'cause the original parts didn't fit. The hair I made from and old brush. It was easy to get a yellow feather, during Easter period you see them everywhere.

    Uufflakke is East-Flemish dialect for pig's head meat. It’s an old recipe of boiled pigheads, it looks disgusting when canned but tastes surprisingly well with some mustard. Not a lot of people still eat it but you can find it in most of the butcher’s stores.
    That explains my avatar.

    @carts: Thanks!

    @JG52Uther:It is a model from MiniArt http://miniart-models.com/
    I would advice you not to buy any of those cheap Russian made figures because nothing seems to fit. It is quite frustrating and it takes a lot of time to cut of or sandpaper the plastic parts and fill the gaps.
