Superb work Andrew, I’d be very pleased if my figures turned out anywhere near as good as these!

Excellent work mate, nothing wrong with those you nailed it.

Si, thanks very much indeed having seen your work over a number of years I appreciate the support. Hope all is well with you?

Thanks Mick. I really am genuinely pleased with them.

Steve, thank you very much indeed.

Coming from someone of your skill - and not to mention recent award - I take that as a real compliment!! The figures have turned out to be one of those rare modelling occasions when almost everything went right from start to finish - even if my heart was in my mouth as I started to do the camo! :cold-sweat:

Andy,
There is nowt wrong with them mate nicely done.

Thanks Paul much appreciated and thanks for your support too during my figure painting trials and tribulations....

Thanks very much indeed and very pleased to hear that they stood up to increased scrutiny on a proper screen!!

And you are right that I was the guy behind the brush and that they have surpassed all my expectations but without Tim's SBS I'm not sure I'd have had the confidence to give them a go.

Thanks again.

Absolutely right Andy. You took it and ran with it Andrew, I just put up a couple of pointers!

Thank again Tim - although it was probably more like two dozen pointers. As always, much appreciated.

These are little beauties - lovely job!

Paul, Thanks very much. glad you like them.


Thanks again all for your support

Exceptional, flawless figure painting. The smaller scale figures look mega tricky. Tamiya do a similar model to this; what do you think of their figure range?

Thanks Gavin, very much appreciated.
I'm really pleased with how they turned out considering they're the first figures I've had a proper stab at. The were pretty tricky in places but are very nicely moulded and so that made them easier to read as I painted them.......having an optivisor with a x1.8 magnification lens also helped!!!!
The only Tamiya figures I've had a good at are 50 years old but they're not too bad all things considered.
There is a website called Plastic Soldier Review that does a review of every day of figures anyone has done in a set but I think they're mainly 1/72.
Thanks again for the support.

Well done on this Andrew....I'd be thrilled if I could get this kind of results in 1/87 scale! :thumb2: Rick H.

Rick, thanks very much indeed. Having see your work I appreciate the support! I couldn't imagine trying this as 1/87; 1/72 was hard enough.

Thanks very much. I'm not sure about steady but certainly I feel like I'm getting the hang of it at last.

Thanks as always for the support.
