[Jason Crausby]

Hi all,
Thanks very much for the supportive comments...I,m glad to say it’s pretty much finished although I have noticed a major error on the MG which I will have to put right...anyway I will post some pictures for now but take some more in the morning when the lights better.
Thanks again
Jason

Hi Jason

Only recently joined so missed the start of this. That really is very good indeed. His face is almost life-like. Very well done indeed.

Marvellous work Jason, just terrific. You've managed to make him looked tired, dirty and worn as he should be. Will be studying carefully.

Thanks all...very much appreciated...I have managed to sort out the problem with the MG34 ( for those that didn’t notice, I completely missed out the round “hinge?” That allows the bipod to fold back... it was one of those “oh no what have I done” moments.... as soon as the vast amounts of superglue dries I will get some paint on it and post a few “ finished” day light pictures.
Thanks again
Jason

sorry if it’s picture overload but I’m now calling this finished ( unless anyone spots any other glaring errors!)... it’s taken me long enough but I can now move onto something else with a clear conscience!!
Thanks for looking in and your encouragement over the months!!!!

B****y hell Jason he is good - really beautifully painted.
I have just posted on Peter's Tommy thread that you figure painters may be in a minority but your skills are something most of us can only dream of.

Many thanks Peter... the helmet was a bit of an experiments as I just kept on dabbing it with off white to get the look that I felt was right!
