The pictures aren't that bad Ian, you can see whats been done in them and see the quality of the build so thats all that matters eh

Looking forward to seeing it in all its glory when finished 100%

Colin's right, we can still see what's going on...and I like what I see.

Having done my gunner for this SIG, I know how tough the painting of these larger figures can be. Yours looks great Ian.

This is going to be one very nice model on completion.

Cheers,

Ron

That looks ace, Ian! And the coffee lid as a base is genius

[Guest]

I just love that little base! Just shows the ingenuity of people on here!

Looking forward to the big reveal Ian.

DISASTER struck yestureday going to take finished photos of the figure and i dropped him bits pinged off everywhere i could have cried i'm totaly fedup to put it mildly. I just walked out of the modeling room and not gone back in yet, when i calm down i'll go back and try and fix it. HAPPY MODELING ( with a touch of sarcasum )

[Guest]

Nooo! I'm sorry to hear that Ian, it's awful when something like that happens. Hopefully you'll be able to recover the situation.

All the best

Patrick
