I've now got some of the equipment on:



Still a few more items to add.

Lost for words for a change.How you turn plastic figures into this sort of work is spellbinding mate.The colour tones are top drawer.The equipment is particularly eyecatching Pierre.

Your figures just keep getting better Peter- another great take on this model!

Thanks chaps. This is actually a very nice sculpt, possibly Tamiya's best in the series. Really enjoyable to paint (especially non-camo).

Morning Peter

Lovely work on the accessories, coming together nicely.

I guess the figure was created for the MP44 and ammo pouches, so anything else would always look a little out of place.

Hopefully enough light today to finish off the accessories and keep Katherine happy too.

Have a good day with the paints

Steve - Katherine would only be happy if I gave up the hobby - ''All that time sitting at the table can't be good for you. No wonder you get headaches.'' etc etc. The torso had quite marked recesses for the MP44 ammo pouches and the kit ones were nicely curved to fit, so that's why I used them in the end. Should get him finished today, though seem to be suffering a bout of 'flu, so we'll see.

Steven - Thank you.

Today I finished the personal gear then added the guns and straps. Once I'd stuck him to the base I did some weathering with pastels to get the two to blend and to dirty up his clothes a bit..

Beautiful Peter, simply beautiful.

Another exceptional figure Peter. The equipment items are gems in their own right, and combine beautifully to make the whole. The discreet weathering is spot on too.

Nicey nice Pierre.Think the Deg machine gun adds something different to him.
Another gem for display case.
