Roger that, Kevin. Once in awhile pulling a stupid maneuver makes us remember we still got a lot to learn.

You're bringing this along fantastically Steve.
Every figure is a 'gem' in itself.
I re-iterate Kevin's comment .... WOW! and WOW! again.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thank you, Sir. Yes, this is a doozy of a project for those of us used to camo or olive drab.

Flag Bearer Finished

Finally, I can show some progress and close out the Flag Bearer. Bunker time has become a premium lately due to summer work, but we do what we can, right?

You’d think after painting four tartans by now that they would have been the toughest part, but working these long socks was no walk in the park. I had to redo the right sock twice while trying to keep the pattern straight as it wound around the leg. I sure do appreciate all the others to come, they’ll be a piece of cake, lol.

Using the methods and techniques mentioned before this figure moved along much quicker, minus the socks. He really doesn’t have a lot of detail to him, but the right side of the flag had to be tackled. That wasn’t as difficult as before either. There are a few areas I thought were a bit off, but you’d really have to look closely to find them. So, I’m calling this figure done.

I aplauogize for the poor photos. Trying to capture the flag with the figure will be handle differently when the final pics are taken. For now, this figure is in the curio cabinet safely tucked away until the base and weathering are done.

Thanks for watching. Cheers, Ski.

Thanks, Brother. The toughest issue has been keeping the lines straight. If one goes astray it's a pain to correct within the pattern. It was a lot of serious up close work.

Thanks, Gents, Ski.

I know the pattern is not up to specs, but it will do. My linear limit was reached with the first kilt, HA!
