Neil's 1/32 WWI Nurse

[Neil Merryweather]

Thank you very much ,gentlemen.
I've done the dress and shoes now; colours are as before with German Black Brown for the shoes with a black ink wash over them.


It just remains for me to put her together and make a little base. Oh and add a red cross decal.
thanks for watching

The apron and headgear appear as looking like real fabric to my eyes, very nice indeed. :thumb2:

I agree Rick. Neil has even captured a slight translucency to the apron, allowing a hint of the smock to show through.

Hi Neil

i'm late coming to this thread, but you have really nailed the 'English rose' complexion - brilliant work.

Yup, the first pic above shows that very well Tim. Most excellent coloring, but of course our Mr. Merryweather loathes painting figures as stated in his 'Fuselage' figure thread. The man has some extraordinary painting talent in 1/32 scale!!!...

Prost

Not seen this one before but that's some seriously nice painting Neil

[Airborne01]

Very nice indeed!

Blimey, thanks chaps for those overwhelmingly lovely comments!
I was inspired by @MiketheKiwi's book, but to be honest I don't have the patience to add the details and textures that he achieves. But I did get the idea for trying to show the hem of the skirt and the apron with a thin highlighted line.
I'm very chuffed you like her, and in spite of Allen Dewire 's comments I honestly do approach painting with trepidation every time. But you HAVE given me some confidence, so thank you again

Yup, that's excellent. The technique of painting the hems is very clever indeed - sells the translucence of the apron most convincingly, as Tim Marlow says.
What's @mikethekiwi's book?

Look up Mike the Kiwi or Mike Butler on the web to be completely blown away Paul. He posts on here occasionally.

Here you go

Thanks chaps. Sorry for the digression, but some pro figure painters are incredible! Just found this by Mike Butler. I don't really care what scale this is, it's just perfect!


Also found Mike's version of your nurse, Neil, and I must say you've done the translucent material technique significantly better than he has!

Thank you kind sir, I don't see it myself but who am I to argue?
