Great progress with the painting, I also heard Mike worked in a hospital and I think he was into re-enactment, but that was many years ago. Last saw him walking around Euro dressed as a GI! All the best Mike wherever you are.

I can definitely see the attraction of this figure Paul, wouldnt think it was 80`s figure looking at it.
Great job on the painting i really like the sabretache detailing.

Hi Paul, really nice work on this, I really like the trouser colour, makes a nice change from the usual British, Blue or Grey.
One day I will lay my hands on this kit! Look forward to seeing it finished, have a great Xmas, best wishes,

Hi All,
I think I'm more or less there,just the odd correction to do,but,
At this point he puts a smile on my face,for it was a long time in coming 20 somthing years,getting the figure not a smile I mean!
Any way hope you like the end result............
Best Regards
Paul

Cheers Ken,very kind.

Carl,I was going to buy some,then had a moment of madness,a mass of very dry leaf's had blown under my garage door,gathered round my bike's front wheel,so in that moment of madness I grabbed a few and in to my freshly cleaned coffee grinder and pulsed them down to in scale leaf size?
Glued on with pva,happy days "Blue Peter" has a lot to answer for!
Thanks for looking.
Best Regards
Paul :D
 
Hi Paul,

It may have taken 20 years but well worth the wait, great job Paul on this classic. Thanks for posting the WIP's I've already downloaded the pics, if I can get to within 50% of that work I'll be pleased. Well done mate look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Keith

I hope it lives up to expectations in the flesh.
Best Regards
Paul
