Steve - Morning. It's taken a bit of time to get back into the smaller scale, but I am really enjoying it. Alpine sculpts are superb of course, and there is a lot of lovely detail to pick out on this one. Sounds like the lucky cat is going to be very comfortable, what with the insulation and all - I have fond memories of my Grandad's old cat and her kennel.

Greg - Glad you like this one. I'm trying to vary the OD to get a bit of interesting colour going. I don't get Charles Bronson, but he does remind me of someone :thinking:.

This is Charles Bronson in the movie ( very bed one) battle of the Bulge...

[Guest]

Yep, see what you mean Greg.

Hi Peter
I also like the slightly more lived in face. As has been said ...

A real masterclass in drapery and colour

Cheers Jim.

I've now got the legs done:



It will all need a coat of matt varnish to take off the shine.

Cliff Robertson, maybe?

Peter,
Another masterclass in figure painting.

[Guest]

Neil - A possibility.

Scottie -Thank you.

I decided to crack on and finish him:



Apart from the shenanigans with the heads, this was very enjoyable to do. It's certainly got me back in the mood for 1/16 figures.

Morning Peter

Lovely work, great color contrast on what could have been a drab canvas.

Back into 1/16 too? What could be next?

Still grey and wet here, and the housing project progresses, despite the weather.

Just right for the garage!

Have a good day with your next victim

Regards

Morning Steve.

I loved doing this one. A high quality sculpt that responded well to the paint. I've ordered anoher American from the range, and have some plastic figures lined up. Next though, back to the busts. Very wet morning here, and Katherine off for a Covid antibody test - we'll know for sure if we've all had it now. Enjoy working on the cat's palace.

Hi Peter, just had a read through and got caught up on this one......very nice indeed. And yes he definitely has the "Bronson" look about him. One to be very proud of. Rick H.
