    Airfix 54 mm George Washington

    My shelf of doom is slowly but steadily empting. This is my second serious attempt to figure modelling and painting (I don't count crews included in vehicles kits in this category).
    As we say here, I still have to eat even more soup...
    First two pics shot with cell phone, the others with my old camera which shows an increasing fogging right in the middle of the lens. :money-face::anguished:
    Comments, critics, questions and abuses are all warmly welcome. :smiling2:

          That looks good, Andrea. Even more so considering he is only your second figure.

                I can't criticize you at all Andrea. George looks great and respect for your skills at figure/horse painting!!! You are years ahead of me Buddy!!! It's also great to see you are getting some bench time in retirement too...

                Prost

                  To be honest, his right eye is more Marty Feldmanish, if this is an acceptable adjective...:tongue-out3:

                    I couldn't put my finger on it but you nailed it Andrea. :tears-of-joy: But overall he looks good.

                        I'm resuscitating the Takom 1:35 BV 206S, another and hopefully last (for the moment) shelf queen.
