1:10 Wehrmacht Feldgendarmerie bust

[JR]

Firstly apologies Steve for missing this , so the customary read through from the start.
Brilliant work for someone who hasn't painted a figure for that length of time,love the uniform work ,and the Buddha in the back ground will look after you .
Very tidy looking bench , how do you people keep it like it ?


What a start to the day part was the thing that would make most people just go back to bed and start again.I had to laugh at your description of the Fedex attempted delivery.

I had a similar evening yesterday, in am attempt to pay my SA tax I went on line, filled in all the information, entered all my debit card stuff and was promptly told by Visa my address was wrong. Of course at this point in the proceedings I lost it.
Bloody bank I shouted, we've lived here for 47 years.
, Mrs Race was soon on the scene, " they can't hear you , but I can ! "
Needless to say at this point before I was injured I gave up, this morning having spoken to the bank all is well. NO one knows why this happened.

I paid my Corporation Tax over the phone this year and had to go through 5 minutes of security checks with HMRC to make sure it was me who was paying my own Corporation Tax bill. At the end I said to the guy if anyone ever phones you up trying to impersonate me and pay my tax bill, then just let them do it please. :smiling: :smiling5:

That looks amazing Steve - great job. And what is all that other stuff lined up there?

[JR]

Nice set of heads, I drawn to the one with the hair, and beard center back row.

Thanks for popping by
The light is not good but a couple if shots I have taken.

It's the North African village for my Pz F2

Too bright?

Too dull?

Peter, the heads are for my next 1:10 busts.John, the centre back row is Sean Connery as Major General Urquhart from a Bridge too Far.
They are cheaper 2nds as no one seems to want to paint a known actor!
All good practise for me.
More when the light gets better?

Very nicely done indeed Steve. A great palette and very fine detail painting. Looking forward to the others.

[Gern]

Next step already
As all my photos are on.my mobile, it's an attempt to load them from my phone[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1093596[/ATTACH]

Has it worked?

And for motivation, these are on my desk, watching my progress

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1093597[/ATTACH]

Sorry Peter, but they are so good they deserve a 2nd showing.

If this had worked there will be more tomorrow

I didn't know that Buddha appeared in Kelly's Heroes!

Thanks Steve, nice painting, prefer the second one as it looks more natural .

[SteveH]

Thanks chaps
The natural light is "off the menu" for a while, the bright one was the mobile flash and a little too bright I think.
I was using your SBS Peter, but I have fallen somewhat short, though the next 1/2 dozen should help sharpen my
skills and eye for detailing the larger figures.
I think I will enter the Gordon's 92nd Highlander at Waterloo, into the figure GB.
I am even tempted to do a little sculpting too, as there is a GOT Tyrian figure from series one, which will be an excellent counterpoint to an upgrade to a bearded shaggy haired heavily scared Tyrian from series 8 .
I am hoping to be able to get back to 1:35 once my confidence is back with the faces.
I have a serious back log of 3 years of figures to paint!
As for the desk, Buddha keeps the boys from Kelly's Heroes in line whilst I am painting.
More when the weather relents.
Thanks for popping by

Some photos
As good as it's going to get
Sorry






I'll try again with better light
All this painting is making me crave plastic and glue sniffing LOL
Hope they don't offend?
