The latest update:



Today I painted and added the hat, spare pistols and cutlass. The pistols were pretty roughly cast so I painted the wooden stocks quite dark in order to push them back a bit. Just the hands to do now.

AND... he did it again... WOW... Peter your skills are fantastic....

[Guest]

Many thanks Greg - not quite done, but nearly there.

[Guest]

Thanks Richard - a relatively simple figure, but the details mount up.

[Guest]

Astonishing work as allways! No words to describe! Amazing ! Wish I can do this in 1/35 regards Danny

Peter.
I shall join the ranks of praise posters.
:thumb2:
I remember you once saying white was hard to paint ? Well this has come out looking superb, esp like the brass work painting.
John.

Danny - Thanks. The larger scales are much easier to paint than 1/35, which I struggle with.

Jon - Thanks also. It's taken me a long time to become comfortable with painting whites, but I quite enjoy it now.

[Peter Gillson]

Another good one, looking forward to seeing the hands and pistols added

Mick - Cheers. My daughter's a better modeller than I am.

Hi Peter
That is superb. I do like these more colourful figures.
Jim

[Guest]

Thanks Jim - Nice to get away from field grey.

He's done:



Just the hands holding the guns to do today. Again the quality of the finish on these parts wasn't great and I did have to scratch and replace some of the fiddly bits.

A couple of arty shots:



The legs sprawled behind him on the right are those of Nelson, just hit by the sniper's bullet.

Wow Peter, what a great piece.
