Simple and Small

Just had a catch up after being away & you've done a lot to your diorama Richard, the base has come out very well & the pigeons look good too.

Those pigeons are painted beautifully. Very realistic.

Hi,
Made some little improvements to the radio pack by adding a phone handle receiver...can't remember what it's called heh heh. Found it in my spares box.

I used lead wire for the wire.

Hi Guys, I've started painting the figure...
First pass of painting figure. The gloss from the black ink doesn't help with the photo.

I have to blend the highlights and shadows in the next step. A coat of flat varnish will make it pop.

Thanks Steve, still a lot of fine tuning to do. Got to search for my decals for unit patches and insignia...apparently not in the box of figures. Don't fancy painting them.

Hi Guys,
I've smoothen out the highlights and shadows and gotten the shade right. Also I've given him a five o'clock shadow.


The bench work was worked on and the radio equipment received some paint. Touch ups and chipping will be done later after I have painted the other parts of the bench. The bayonet scabbard dropped from my accidental brush with it.

I watched the diorama displays at Monsoon on YouTube for inspiration and saw a few that competed last year in our local MALCOM especially the movie clapper board dios.

Cheers,
Wabble
