Thanks Nap.
I bought the grave stones a while ago. Marketed as 1/35, they're hugely over-sized so needed a 75mm fig.
No legend on them, which means some careful scribing is required.
Straightforward enough...
Yep.
No problem at all...

The wooden base edging.
That last corner is always a bugger.
Suppose that's what groundwork is for...
(Coffee shop stirring sticks and cast-off 9mm plywood).

Gravestone "etched" with a pointed file tip.
But who was the enigmatic "JV", who passed away in 1861?
No idea. I just needed a couple of letters and a date.

Oops!
I think I just changed my mind.
Tommy Atkins in place of Billy Yank, who will now await his turn.
Today has been a trying one, that's for sure (it started at 5.30 am). So calm and predictability are in short supply.

Does this scenario look familiar to anyone?

Hi Nap.
If you could change the title that would be great.
Many thanks

Cannot move from this position till the left arm is stuck in place.
Hopefully without my finger being attached too.

It's on!
Or rather, they both are.
Third attempt; the downside of superglue is you don't get a "tacky" phase when you can adjust position.
Such is resin- and metal figure-modelling.
Anyway, the musket butt rests on the ground and it'll soon be in place.

Crappy snappy photo.
Believe it or not, shading is well underway.
When it's done, I'll photograph it with a proper camera.
RIP Andy Rourke.
