Looking great, and you make it look so easy Peter.

Simply great work as always.

Cheers people. He's up and running.

Great stuff Mr Day. Love the way you've handled the jacket.

Great work Peter and he has a rather mean looking face, would not like to meet him on a dark night.


Andy.

Morning Peter

Going well with the jacket, the shading on the face looks like a natural shadow from the lighting which is what you must be aiming for?

So good it doesn't look painted, nice work.

Looks like England and Wales will be getting a named storm over the next 2 days, not much light for painting then!

Have a good day with the trousers

Regards

Morning Steve - I always have fun with my trousers! The face looks better this morning, so I'm fairly happy. A very stormy night here, but a sunny start, so I'll grab the light while I can.

[Guest]

The legs:



I've given him the tanker's blue overall trousers to liven up the colour scheme a bit.

[adt70hk]

Good to see some trousers on him!

[Guest]

We all look better in trousers Andrew. Thanks for looking in.

Indeed although a female colleague did once it's comment that I had nice legs....(I normally cycle to work as an FYI!)

[Guest]

I hasten to add I do not wear mine like any of these.

He however looks very nice Peter.

Morning Peter

Nice trousers, denim material possibly?

I had never thought the ""Work" kit was blue as you rarely see colour photos.

Many of the black and white photos show a very pale almost white work kit, so blue is a bright alternative, nice work too.

I will always remember the original dwarf Tamiya tank crew and the pale sky blue uniform, very Hermann Goering in colour!

Looks like Storm Christoph wont stop you finishing this one today.

Hopefully enough light to get done

Have a good day with the paint

Andy - I'm sure your legs are lovely. A female housemate used to say I had legs like a girl's - she meant it as a compliment.

John - I'm somewhere between the two. Dungarees seems to be the 'in' thing this season. My offspring are all wearing them.

Steve - More of a poplin, like this repro example:



I've exaggerated the colour slightly for 'artistic' reasons. Peiper was a bit of a dandy and wore kit from different arms of service (re the Kriegsmarine jacket) so I've tried to have fun with that. He could also have easily have some trousers made up out of blue material by the regimental tailor. Should get this done today.
