No Missus, don't mock!

Morning Peter

The hat was a little busy, better suited under the parka, I think.

Certainly a youthful and expectant new junior officer, hopefully his troops will keep him out of trouble!

Should be another good day to paint, though the weather will go against you with a heat wave next week.

I shall try to scribe some resin figures today, 1/35, too small these days for you, sadly.

Have a good day painting

Regards

Hi Steve

His boys like him (honorary kukri) so he'll be all right.

I realised he's actually wearing the reversible British Arctic smock (thanks Richard). Here it is painted:

Looking good Peter:smiling3:.

[JR]

Very nice of Richard, tis looking good Peter.

[Lee Drennen]

Peter. It’s OK I got your back pay no attention to the Rabbles

[Guest]

Ralph - Cheers.

John - Richard's a star. Far too generous by half.

Lee - I don't mind the rabble putting their oar in. I nearly always have shenanigans with the heads, so people know to expect it of me. On to the camo tomorrow.

Very nice gift from Richard, looking good Peter think you’re right with the 2nd version of the cap to keep it from distracting from his face and such :thumb2:

Morning Peter

""Smockingly""" good start to the body LOL

Can't avoid a little camo even if its only under the smock.

Your alternative cap was well done, so the little bit of camo will be a definite counterpoint to the solid blocks of green.

Another grey day but getting warmer ready for the heatwave

Have a good day with the camo, I seem to be slipping into mindless NetFlix binge watching at the moment, 1/2 way through season 2 of The Crown and I don't know why!!

Have a good day with the paints

Regards

Fernando - Thanks for looking in.

Steve - Bad pun day! Glad to have some warmer weather, though it gets too bright for painting after 1pm.

First pass at the camo:




Getting there, and I suppose DPM is not subtle.

[Guest]

That's the bottom half done:

[Guest]

Camo looks great Peter :smiling3:.

[Richard48]

Richard.

[Lee Drennen]

[Guest]

Many thanks chaps. I've since done a bit more too it, especially at the back.
