While waiting the delivery of 40 or so pigeons I dug through the stash to find a mate/brother for the captivated kid. This fella is from the MENG "Middle Eastern era" set". Built up nicely only needs wee bit if thriller around the legs/torso join but nothing onerous. Thoughts welcomed.   |

Eeeeee by gum lad... Me pigeons have arrived.  . A wee bit of flash on a few of the bodies, but light enough to come off with a Mk 1 finger nail... |

Nice mate, the flying shitehawks will add a great bit of interest to the dio.

A very thin bit of stretched clear sprue or wire and you could have one flying off the vehicle an inch or two and slightly spooking the dog |

I've gone for a blush grey with the skyrats- gonna try a couple of white love-doves later this week. not sure how MiniArt think you can paint these things though as even a 10/0 brush seems a bit big for some details  |

Miniart do it so that they can laugh at uis trying to paint them On the plus side they didn't think that separate beaks would be a good idea. |

Some dark oath flesh contrast and washes from GW applied. Still not fully dry on the clothes so not sure if they'll need ahit with some matt varnish...  |

Left them overnight and they did need a matt coat. This has had an added bonus of imparting a dusty look to them overall which will help tie them into the ground work. Nearly there |
