Stargate SG1

One thing I try to do as a modeler is to celebrate the things I like - and I was (am) a fan of the show, so I had to give it a try. This is from 2013.

Using the figures I could get my hands on (1:72, plastic, cheap - as in already-in-the-stash), SG1 team is retreating to Stargate, probably fleeing from a Glider (unseen).

Figures from Caesar (US Modern Army) and Italeri's NATO pilots and ground crew. 
Trees and all other stuff including that crude DHD and detailless stargate were scratchbuilt by me.

Single figs

Imagem
 Other challenge at Benno's, a single figure.  Usually I paint a few at the same time, having in mind a wider scenario. Sometimes I take more time with a single figure and the result is... nice. I was happy with how this one came out. Not so much with the basing... 1:72 scale, an american soldier in Iraq.

Napoleonic Portuguese Artillery

Imagem
 First intended to represent the Portuguese at Battle of Roliça (1808), it was later used as part of a fort garrison from 1810 forward. Which fits the intention of the kit manufacturer. Kit LW 2004 1/72 - Portuguese Artillery 1810 Carro (wagon) - Miniart  Set 72010 Hussites This was the original look, each team together on a single base.  An ammunition wagon (unloading) - I've used the Hussites war wagon as base for it.    Hard to spot, but 3 of the artillery teams make the garrison of this small fort.

Lines of Torres Vedras - Fort n.º 19 - Ajuda Pequeno

Imagem
 This small fort, together with n.º 18, were between the 1st and the 2nd line. N.º 18, or Forte da Ajuda Grande (Grande, because it was the bigger of the two), was restored and deserves a visit to the spot. My friend Vitor Mestre was already building this last one at 1:160 (10mm) but I prefer the 1:72 scale, so I needed a small construction. As these two forts share the same hill I went no further. So, long story, I tryed a first layout but it turned out too narrow, which made me start from the begining, opening a bit more some angles (because all I had was some bad pictures and a not so accurate visit to the ruins. More info ( in Portuguese ). The garrison consisted on about 200 men and 3 9pdr guns. Two different sketches of the fort. First attempt The magazine (at the centre) isn't completly covered. At first I as thinking about having a removable top, but I couldn't get a satisfying result, so it is fixed but one can see the different layers that protected the magazine if bo...
