Thank you very much Matt

 

[David Spencer]

The figure is really nice.
The beret looks good; maybe some highlights to give it a dusty appearance?

 

[Fransab]

Thank you very much Limey for your advice, I've that in mind.

Cheers,

Francisco

Hi!

At last, my friends, I finished this lovely figure.
In spite of to be a old kit, it's an excellent and amazing figure for painting. It has a lot of little details and it was a pleasure to paint it. Also it was a little challenge for painting too much blue, I tried to give it a different tones for avoiding the monotony
of the same kind of blue.
I hope it likes. All critics are welcome and desired for improving the technic.
Next step, the base.

Cheers,

Francisco

PD. It looks brighter in the photos than in reality

I love it - full of character

 

[Fransab]

Thank you very much

Wow Francisco, that's really good, love the leather and the wood work on the Rifle. That is a cracking piece, probably not what you want to hear but I can't suggest how you could make improvements, I really like it.

Cheers Simon

You asked for criticism which we all need to help us improve, but I can't see anything that might help, that's why I'm sorry. I now want to make my own version of a Chasseur Alpin, but I have far too many things I want to do already!

Cheers Simon

Very nicely painted, lots of detail and you've brought out the character perfectly.

Me too, Simon, now here comes the good weather and I have to update the garden and the swimming pool, too much work.

Francisco,

You did an amazing job. The figure looks fantastic. Can't wait to see the final version with the base.

[Fransab]

Thank you very much for your kind words as always, Paul.
I hope to do a good work with the base. It's a pity that you can't not see the figure in person, I think that it looks better. It's been a pleasure to paint it.

Cheers,
Francisco

That's looking really good, full of character. I really like the way you painted the weapons and rifle, they look very realistic.

Hi Francisco

That’s a lovely result on the Figure , liking the way you’ve done the equipment and the uniform colour

Really enjoyed following this V bench

Once this is based up do share the final pictures in the Completed Forum

Look forward to seeing more on this and your next project

Have fun @ the bench

Excellent work. WW1 French subjects are always a delight, and you have made a superb job of this figure.

 

[Fransab]

Thank you very much NigelR, Nap and David for your kind comments.

Cheers,
