Rear view and I've just spotted a couple of things I missed cleaning up

Roger,
good luck at sea. Keep us posted when you make a little progress on this one. The details look a little soft, particularly around the left hand and the tops of the boots. You've got your work cut out for you on this one!

Cheers Jay. This one will certainly be a challenge and I won't be able to cover mistakes up with Flanders mud :lol:

Excellent! As a big Sid Horton fan, it's good to see one of these being painted up!

Roger -

Try to stay dry out there! I'm with Jay - those look really soft around the boot tops particularly! Since the model is resin, I'd be tempted to scribe or cut deeper separation lines around the boot tops, maybe even use my small rat tail file to make some new folds in the jodhpurs. AFter looking at that Kaiserbunker web site a bit more, I see what you mean. Really didn't know how colorful the pre-war Imperial German uniforms were.

All the best,
Dan

billyturnip · Oct 14, 2006

I'll do my best Keith

Dan, the figure is white metal and I'm a bit wary of setting about it with anything sharp, paint brushes are sharp enough for me, I'd only cut myself :lol I already have once cleaning up this figure.
We'll just have to see how my paintwork is :lol:
If you have a look on The Red Lancer website Dan there are some photo's of the Hecker & Goros German Empire figures there are some really nice ones I intend to paint all of 'em :lol:

Hi Maurizio,
I hope I can do it justice it's a lovely little figure. It's something a little different for me and I can't wait to get home on leave to get my brushes back out.

Roger.

billyturnip · Nov 13, 2006

I got back from sea saturday night for my month off so without delay...........

billyturnip · Nov 13, 2006

My brushes came out after a months rest :lol:

billyturnip · Nov 13, 2006

The top edge of the cap is slightly damaged but doesn't look too bad I hope. The cockades were a nightmare to paint but don't look too bad at normal viewing distance.

Roc · Nov 13, 2006

Roger, this is a very nice figure, I will be following your step by step.

Cheers
Roc.

KeithP · Nov 13, 2006

Cheers Keith.
I'll take some more pics tomorrow showing tonights work.
If they don't show up too many flaws I'll include some close ups :lol:
Thanks Roc, now I know you are watching my progress I'd better try harder :lol:
Roger.

billyturnip · Nov 14, 2006

Progress is very slow, I'm struggling painting the frogging and blue pelisse and there's still quite a bit of tidying up to do on the cap but this is how its going so far.

Roger.

Christos · Nov 14, 2006

Looks very nice Roger,
keep up
