Completed Andrea US Paratrooper

[Mike Stevens]

Hi Nap, the base you saw is for this figure. I usually try to prepare and paint the base well before I start painting. It seems to take a lot of pressure off when I’m finishing up a figure.

I am close to finishing up the figure, I have to finish his left leg on the back side. It’s difficult because it’s catching light from everywhere, so a lot more highlighting left.

Then it’s time to paint the rifle, other equipment hands and boots and just stuff before securing ot to the base.

I’m hoping to get a solid weekend of painting in and may finish this fellow up.

Just an update: I’m getting tired of painting Khaki. Best getting closer to done. Thanks for looking:

Pirates don't wear khaki. Sorry couldn't resist.

I think this will be done today, I think it’s just boots and metals left, and some groundwork clean up.

Thanks for looking:

He looks great Mike, good colour tone on the airborne tunic/pants.
