Nice work Ron, liking it a lot !!

Steve

Many thanks mate

Hi Ron,
That base has progressed so much from the initial washes mate, the attention to detail in picking out key areas plus the colour composition and blending is just lovely. Even more so when you consider a large proportion will be covered with the hand etc. but underneath parts will be still visible through the fingers and hydraulic pistons.
Really looking forward to seeing this one progress. Brilliant S.B.S. so much to pick up on.
Intrigued about the new parts you have ordered
cheers
Richie

Hi Ron,
Lovely work here mate.
Great that you've expanded on your technique so others like me can steal more from you!!!!
Much appreciated for the detailed sbs and the pieces looks fantastic.

Morning Richie....yep...it's moved on a bit....there is so much detail to play with on the base....almost a project in it's own right.
Composition and colour have been a constant headache....so easy to get carried away on areas that will be lost forever once the head and hand go on.
So pleased you are finding the SBS helpful....as for the extra bits..............

Hi mate....great to hear from you
I am constantly refining the technique....and love working with the 'transparent' oils now....so much more you can do with them....steal away mate
Glad the SBS is working for you....I am enjoying myself again after the two year break.

 

[kagemusha]

Between yesterday and today....I have managed to finalise the head and hand....and fix them to the main base. I have added a few extra details...decals...bare metal edges...cables...wiring...oil etc.
These have all been weathered in now...and can dry over night.



Next up will be the fauna to enhance the theme of nature reclaiming it's own.

to be continued......

Cheers mate....I felt there was room for some extra detailing here and there....and cables/wiring seemed obvious

Hi Steve....thanks for comment

Wiring seemed like a natural detail to add...when I first saw the original...I thought straight away that if I did the kit I would have to add it

 

[1969]

Definitely enhances the base work

Wake up Ron...The setting looks very good....Did you turn that base yourself?....maybe something next to it for an idea of scale or would that be asking too much.?.... …….

Hello mate....base was purchased a while back for another project...commercial not homemade.
I will snap a quick pic 2moro just for you
Although...if you look at the very first pics on this thread...the standing figure is 90 mm scale.

 

[Wayneb]

No need....went back and looked ;..Looks to be a balanced fit between base and figure...….base setting looks outstanding.....
