Dog Tag 1/16 IJN Pilot

[Guest]

Ralph - Many thanks.

Pete - Very kind of you. I daren't stop to be honest, in case I lose the flow.

Jim - The last time I did this figure it seemed to cause some controversy, mainly because the face was considered caricaturish by some. I can see that it could be taken that way, but as I've said, it was sculpted by an East Asian artist and I'm sure it was just intended to evoke a smile. I'm glad you like this one.

Scottie - Thank you. I always enjoy adding those finishing touches.

Morning Peter

Great palette with warm colours and nothing cartoonish about the final finish.

Keep that foot up and rested too.

Off to find your wedgie

Regards

We know you're a top figure painter Peter but I think its all the additional details you add which really elevate these figures.

Steve - Bit peed off about the foot diagnosis, as I used o be quite a walker. That's Snowdon out for next year (done it three times already though I suppose). Glad you like the figure.

Mick - Thank you. I think I'm finally beginning to get the measure of these Dog Tag figures. I've just stripped down their Russian tanker for a re-paint.

I dint think your work could get any better but I have compared this one against your other IJN builds and this is by far the best. Those were stunning so there are no words to describe how good this one is. Great work Peter

Steve - Thank you for your kind words. I deliberately left off painting busts over the summer in order to try and improve my painting at this scale. Hopefully I've made some progress.
