Jim -Cheers.
Richard - What is it with you and all this camo? Seriously though, this is a great bust and I'm thoroughly enjoying painting it. Looking forward to having a crack at your latest releases.

OK, I'm calling this one finished.

Today's session started with the painting of his back. More camo, and quite complicated with all of those straps and tabs to negotiate.

Then it was on to the ammo belt. This was supplied as four blocks of fifteen individual rounds (sixty in total, though two were damaged). I decided that the best way to do it was to paint them black first, cut them off the blocks, then attach them using tweezers and a pool of CA. That went OK, with only a couple of gluey messes, the fiddliest part being arranging them around the back of the neck. Finally I picked out the brass and steel, then tidied up by shading with more black.

This figure was great fun to do, and a big thanks to Richard for his gift.

Hi Peter
The more I see of your work the more convinced I am that you have sold your soul to the devil for the magic to paint like you do. Absolutely stunning. Mind you when you final present yourself at the Pearly Gates old Nick will have first claim and St Peter will have to hand you over!!! :thinking:

Richard - Pleased that you like him. Thanks again.

Jim - Many thanks. Not my soul, just my eyesight (and he's also taken most of my hair). I think it's a reasonable job, but not my best - camo is always a compromise and the ammo could be better. Hey, ho - on to the next one.....

Peter.
