Morning Peter

Lovely work on the camo, you should be close to finishing today?

Hopefully some good light and a steady hand for the rain marks.

Then onto the next victim or a dabble with the 1/35 scenario?

I shall try some more work on the Dresden figures today

Have fun with your finishing touches

Regards

Andy - Kinds words. Many thanks.

Steve - Morning from a very stormy Kent. Probably another two days on this one - most of the equipment today, then the tricky panzerfaust/rifle arrangement tomorrow. Not sure what I'll tackle after that - still not in 1/35 figure land I'm afraid. Hope you can get to work on the Dresden epic.

More incredible work Peter

[Tim Marlow]

Looks fantastic as always.....

[Guest]

Many thanks Mick and Tim.

[Steve Jones]

Nearly there now Peter. Looking very impressive

[Guest]

Cheers Steve. I'm going to go for a slightly different arrangement with the rifle and panzerfaust as I feel the configuration suggested is a bit awkward.

Morning Peter

Very nice work on the equipment, it all looks so busy and well painted too, its always the the little details make the whole look the part.

Sould be on track fro a finish today, though the light could be in short supply.

Another windy night with wheelie bins "walking" all over and crashing about in the night!

Hopefully more work on Dresden today as the filler was slow to dry yesterday?

Have a good day with the limited light

Regards

whew ..... love it when i look at a model and keep on looking because there is just so much to see .... not a clue how u manage to do this type of detailed work .. excellant stuff!!

[Steve Brodie]

Thats looking superb, what have you found is the best method for the 5'0 clock shadow ?

[Guest]

Andrew - Thanks for dropping in.

Lee - Glad you approve.

Steve H - Calm after the storm here today, though dull and cold. Just enough light to finish the figure. Hope your filler is dry!

Lindsey - I really enjoy painting the equipment and do tend to pile it on. Thanks for looking in.

Steve J - The five o'clock shadow is just Camo Black Brown mixed with Off White and Flat Flesh (Vallejo, as usual). I try to soften the edges by stippling into the natural flesh colour.

It's now finished:



I realised this morning that I hadn't added the rain dashes, so that was the first job today (and one I hate). I then painted and mounted the rifle in a different position from the box art, which I felt looked too awkward. Next came the panzerfaust, and as I understand they were quite heavy I added a cord sling.

I mounted him on a spare Verlinden base, to which I added some grass tufts, then gave the whole thing a dusting over with a light coloured pastel to both tone down the camo and to help marry the base and figure.
