Hi all. Made a start last night then had a half day today so cracked on. Base colours are done and started shading and highlighting the jacket and pelisse. I'm still in two minds about painting the overalls green though, I might yet change them to grey. And the leather reinforcement will be toned down considerably when done!

Looking very nice already Alex. Great work.

[Windy]

Thanks Peter. Long way to go yet. I'm plucking up the courage to make a start on the face, it's the bit I always dread!

Looking good. I've got the utmost respect for anyone who can do figures. I wouldn't know where to start.

Thanks Andrew. I blame my catholic upbringing - it's a form of cathartic penitence! :smiling5:

Hi Alex
Looks a great sculpt and I like to see these colourful figures painted. I'll watch with interest. Off to a fine start.

This one is coming along a lot quicker than I expected, not far off being finished. Though as always I have been putting off the bit I dread - the face. I can't delay the inevitable for ever so I'd better man up and crack on!

I was out all day yesterday driving a safety vehicle for the the Weymouth Ironman (lunatics the lot of 'em) so didn't really get any painting done. However I wasn't happy with the green trousers so re-did them grey last night. I think the contrast is much better. They need shading yet, then it's time to tackle the face and hands!

Great painting Alex, and prefer the grey :thumb2:.

[Windy]

Thanks Peter. It's definitely an improvement. I don't know why, but despite it being in the dress regulations green trousers on a Rifles officer just don't look right!

Hi Alex

I found the same thing when doing this 120mm Moz Corry of a German Legion rifleman:



Not as nice a sculpt as yours.

[Windy]

Getting there! Did his face last night. I used enamels for this as they're easier to blend, the rest of him is done in acrylics apart from the leather reinforcement on his trousers. Just his hands and the base to go now.

Wonderful work Windy. Nearly there now
