My finished figure this month came fresh from Scale 75 Miniatures. With Attila being one of my favorite subjects I had to start him up and paint him ahead of a few other figures already in progress.
Excellent work sir, and speedy. The flesh looks really nice as do your muted colors. I'm working on this guy too so I may ask you pretty soon how to affix the flag, it is pretty heavy and I'm worried about it.
Mike ~ The weight of the flag is carried by the base. I pre-drilled 3/16 of an inch down into where the flag would contact the base and drilled out the left hand prior to painting the flesh. I checked several times during the painting to make sure the standard flag pole would easily slide down thru the hand. You could actually take the figure away and the flag would stand by itself.
Many thanks guys for your kind words and feedback.
James ~ It may seam like I am a speed painter but I work on several figures at one time. Plus the fact I am retired now and spend my days at my desk with figures.
It's an expression of wonderful muscle, Guy.
It's beautiful and powerful.
A ground work and a base are also amazing.
Wonderful presentation.
I congratulate completion.
