    Man Down - Gecko 1/35 ATMP & casualty

    The sun finally peeked out today so I've taken a few completed snaps of this.

    With the long shadows we'll pretend it's getting late, and they are trying to stabilise the casualty and get him onto the Supacat before nightfall.

    Looks great. The “late evening” sunshine effect helps bring out the texture nicely.

        Top work mate the light has given a great build an extra depth.

            Dang Scratchy,

            This whole shebang is just plain fantastic Andy!!! All the little details make it shine Sir. The radio and sat antenna are works of art. In fact, the entire dio is a work of art!!!

            Prost

              Yes have to agree with the guys, great model with the bonus of the sunlight.

                Thanks for the great comments everyone! Really appreciated.

                Even though there's still plenty of room for improvement, it's my favourite build so far, and the one I'm most pleased with. Copying the box art helped as it didn't need too much thinking power!

                Now to work on my photography skills... :smiling5:

                    Cheers John. There are a few where I was hoping to get all the figures in focus, but couldn't manage it, either moving out, zooming in, altering the point of focus, cropping afterwards, you name it.

                    I can get better shots with my camera, but getting them from that to social media is a nightmare :upside:

                      Turned out really well Andy, the pictures look good and you should be proud of it.

                        Thanks Andy.

                        It has pride of place in the TV room. Until the gaffer sees it that is :smiling5:

                            This is amazing. Is it the PG version, without blood, or has the guy just had an asthma attack? lol
                            The detail on the small arms is really impressive by the way!

                              Thanks Peter. It's certainly a whole different skill set with figures. One day I hope to have a go at a "proper" one.

                              Cheers Toby. I'm guessing he's gone into shock after breaking that leg. Quite why they're administering fluids straight to a central line in his chest I don't know, but that's how he was moulded so I ran with it lol

                              The IV bag was in the kit, I made the line out of thin lead wire.
