Why do these things always look better in real life

I know what you mean Mick...
... It can be SO frustrating, luckily though,we all know exactly what happens..... so, when looking in on someone's pics,(especially of figures,but it goes for all subjects I reckon),we make allowances and can envisage what it truly looks like
..... Which,in this case,is rather splendid mate.

Thanks Andy, my large space marine I’ve just finished also looks better in reality, I’m blaming my phone

Blocked in a rider, think I’ve sussed out the colours from before so I’ll take these forward now. Found out my reference books too.

Gosh id never be able to focus on this size.You have a real flair for these fella.Would the base paste maybe be good for say mud on 1.72nd afvs?.
Watching from the cheap seats.

Thanks very much Richard. It would certainly be worth a try on small vehicles.

Quick update now the marine is just about done. 12 horses put on to bases and some texture added, this will get covered over later but helps disguise the attached base. The stuff I use is a citadel technical and is great for miniature bases, looks like textured mud but spreads really nice and sets hard. A little goes a long way.
