Peter,
Excellent as always. Looking forward to your tutorial it is one area where I really struggle.

Cheers Scottie. This one's like visiting an old friend.
Re: the tutorial, I did do a couple for MM, though of course they are now sadly lost. They're quite hard to do as I don't really have a set method of working and remembering to stop and take photos hurts my brain.Comment

Scottie - Too camera shy I'm afraid! I'll manage with stills.
John - That's a bit what it's like when a parcel from Richard arrives!
Clear here - dog walking weather. He had a whale of a time chasing pheasants and rabbits today. No dunking of the rusk in your coco if I get you one.Comment

Morning Peter
My work files and active claims were all assigned out as I left to have my knee replaced.
It will take a week or 2 for IT to get my log in organised as it is automatically disabled after 8 weeks LOL
I am on 3 days 10-2 this week, then 3 days 10-4 next week
Full time after 5/6 weeks, so again steady away.
Anna has already got a long list of ""as you are in Leeds can you just.....""
Great work on the great coat, all finished today!
The SBS next?
Can you list your colour palette too?
I shall try and find your African colour palette one day, this year, as I have several African heads to paint for the T34 in the Yemen.
Have a good day with the finish and dust/snow.
I shall be wiped out by this afternoon!
Regards
Steve HComment

Fernando - Many thanks for looking in.
Steve - Sounds like they're easing you back gently into work. I will do the SBS next with palette details etc etc.
The back is done:

Great paintwork and contrasts again Peter. Always a joy to see your work.Comment

Ralph - Cheers.
Wouter. Many thanks for dropping in.
OK, that's enough for today, and guess what? It ain't finished! All of you face painting SBS stalkers will have to wait at least another day I'm afraid.
The basic figure is done though:
Finishing the front included painting and adding the ammo pouch, flashlight, grenade and hands. The Verlinden hands fitted quite well and I've managed to arrange them in a way that hopefully makes sense of the raised thumb - i.e. it's steadying the end of the sausage while he pares off slices. The sausage was made from a section of sprue and I spent ages painting the top, dots of fat etc, which of course you can't see in the photos.
The boots have been basically painted, and I'm going to rely on the Krycell snow to bring out the detail.
The last stage will be painting the gun, billycan and helmet, adding everything to the base, then doing a bit of weathering.Comment
