Well, I didn’t end up as an illustrator or animator but became a special education teacher and principal…. I highly recommend these books for you. Very clear and inspirational and very useful for us modellers...

Great start Nigel! I always block in the colors, it really helps. It was one of my first lessons studying illustration at art school. I suggest you outline the figure along all the edges with a pretty strong highlight. Also try some more stronger highlights where the clothing is more stressed...

Thank you Malc!

Thanks Simon. I want to give a try sometimes. Got some decalpaper but never used it. Thanks Nap, for you kind words and support. Made some progress this weekend. Added all the items. Next step is to add decals to the helmet and to finish the painting. greets RJ

Some more progress. Hope to start with the helmet decals soon. I really like decalling, always my favourite when building 1:72 airplanes. Greets, RJ
