Wonderful job Peter, I like the base now as I was not too keen on the snow.

Many thanks Andy.

I think he looks considerably better without the snow. The only reason I did it in the first place was because he's wearing felt over-boots, which were designed for freezing conditions. Perhaps he's just dealing with hard frost at the beginning of winter, or found a clear patch deep in the forest.

Morning Peter

Glad you finally got a base sorted, the winter white out was a little distracting, looks really well suited with a complementary palette of natural colours.

Great finish and another 1/16 figure in the cabinet.

I guess you are OK, with 1/16 scale once the head is done?

Perhaps on your better eye days, get a 1/16 head done and put in stock for the next build?

Looks like 48 hours of warmer weather ahead!

Bust or figure next?

Have a good day with the next victim

Regards

Hi Steve

Infinitely more pleased with him on the new base. As you say, the colours are a better match for the figure and it all blends together more harmoniously. Another 1/16 project next; my confidence is higher now that I've realised that there will be some compromise on detail at the smaller scales - something busts spoil you for.

Bracing for the mini heat wave - shorts back out of the cupboard.

very nicely done Peter. You can feel the cold with him.

Outstanding Peter. Yet again its the tonal work on the face that stands out so well. Glad you changed the base. More emphasis now on the figure. Lovely work all round my friend
