Been going through some of my Airfix recently, decided to get a couple of the playsets for the figures.

I picked up two sets just before Christmas, Robin Hood Sherwood Castle and the Roman Fort

Wonderful sets Richard cheers I can't remember ever seeing the roman fort , never seen the romans and brit figures in those colours either. Maybe they only came that way with the castle/fort sets. All the figures pictured look very sharp with very little flash.
Time to get busy with your paintbrush Very Happy

I never had these as a kid, only had the Fort Sahara set with the Foreign Legion and Arabs which seems to be the hardest to get now.

Yeah I think the colours of the figures were exclusive to these sets, I remember my Ancient Britons being Brick Red colour. The original figures came in either Grey, Dark Brown, Brick Red or Tan.

My original Romans were in Grey, I think they also came in the Brick Red as well.

I don't think I have the patience (or the skill) that you have for the painting Rich lol! lol!

Did some pics of the Waterloo set.

The base is in two blow moulded plastic sections, also includes a farmhouse and accessories exclusive to this set plus a vast array of figures! Haven't opened the figures yet!

That`s a much more elaborate set than I remember mine being . Are the figures still made of that oily plastic that the paint will not adhere too properly ?

What a nostalgia rush unwrapping these were...

(Thanks Rich!  Very Happy )

All these sets are as indelibly etched into our childhood memories as VAM is! I never had the Romans as a kid but can remember sitting at the kitchen table trying to paint Ancient Britons!

We never had a lot as kids but i spent every spare penny i had on airfix soldiers , inch soldiers i always called them. Most of the stuff i have now are loose figures all piled into boxes which i have picked up here and there. I have also picked up a few other bits on the way Very Happy



Airfix Re Issue Sets Playset1

this set has a Custer figure which was only released with the playset, not a lot of good imo as they are mostly civil war figures released with a nice box with the Custer artwork.

Airfix Re Issue Sets Playset2

This is very nice, had it a few years now but not done anything wit it as yet.

Airfix Re Issue Sets Romanfort7

Idon't paint much small stuff these days but still enjoy messing about with my paints, these are the Airfix 7th cavalry 54mm that i have been painting lately, i love these figures.

The new Airfix figures are a lot nicer to paint, different type of plastic and holds the paint better.

mixture of figures

I've got some of those Imex sets, they did some great western figures. I'll try and dig them out.

Beautiful paint work Rich!!!

Kinda gives me an itchy paintbrush finger.

I really like the look of all of them, but the glossy figures really stand out. Have you done any tutorials?

Thanks,
Brian

cheers cheers cheers

Hello Brian, the glossy figures are very easy to do, just block colour acrylic followed by gloss varnish. I use the water based gloss varnish from the DIY shop so you don't need any fancy stuff. The army in plastic stuff are the same as metal figures only molded in plastic from the same molds, as long as you wash them in soapy water and prime with a plastic primer (Plasti-kote matt is the best) you should not get any problems. Check the range of AIP figures on e.bay there are some lovely sets and a great price. Hope that helps. Very Happy
