1/16 US Tankers Vignette

[Tim Marlow]

Not sure if it’s the picture Peter, but to me the face looks pale compared to the neck? Might be bleached by the flash perhaps? Detail etc looks top drawer as usual.

Hi Tim - That's meant to be 'zenithal' lighting! - the light striking the forehead leaving the neck in partial shadow. I've lightened the pictures slightly to give a truer expression, but I might add some more highlights to the base of the neck where it emerges from under the chin.

Very nice work Peter.

Morning Peter

Looks like he has slept in his ""Office"" all the way from Tunisia in '43 and not ironed that jacket!

Very nice, I'll bet you looked at it after finishing and thought

""Thank goodness & that does look gooood!""

Khaki pants today, another drapery fest to come.

The weather's looking a little better after the cold and rain hopefully getting better down S'aff too?

Have a good day

Regards

Steve H

Andy - Thank you.

Jason - Many thanks also.

Steve - I think the sculptor has gone a bit OTT on the wrinkles, and I may try and tone some areas down a little. I've been looking at better examples on t'internet and that's what they've done. Then on to the legs, and he should be done today.

Rained all night, but sunny this morning. The rain is great, as my favourite field has just been planted and it should have brought some flints to the surface.

Brad is finished:

Today, the trousers and boots - some of the detail on the boots was so fine that I just couldn't get at it with a brush. I also painted and added the pistol in it's holster, then set-to with various varnishes.

Here are the figures together:

I will do some weathering, once I decide on the colours for the base, which will be a wrecked urban environment.

[Guest]

Ralph - Thank you.

Neil - Glad you like 'em.

Richard - Merci mon brave.

I decided that I couldn't be bothered to spend another day or two on a complicated base, so I dug out an old one and refurbished it. Here's the finished thing:

Great finish. It's unmistakably him!
