Completed Bedouin

Hi Everyone.
This is my latest,Verlinden 1/35 scale.
The camel is about 90% airbrushed,the rest of the model is mainly acrylic
I feel I must stop deluding myself that I can work effectively in such a small scale.however I enjoyed painting this none the less.
I hope you like.
Cheers.
Ralph.

Don't knock yourself down, I think you did a great job with this mounted figure. Lots of detail and very cleanly painted.
Well done sir

cheers

Showing its age in terms of the sculpting, but you've done a good job on it. And enjoying yourself is the main thing about this hobby - everything else is a bonus!

Ralph, @ 1/35th,..It gets my vote, well done. ... This would be a real cracker next to an 'LRDG', vehicle, the occupants being engaged in conversation. ..Under the odd Verlinden Palm tree. I do like this.

Steve makes an excellent point there. That's the reason we started this in the first place.

Nice to see an old piece like this resurrected. Did it show it age particularly when doing it?

Thanks Blind, much appreciated.
IMO the kit stands up well to todays standards.There were very large casting blocks covering the body and legs on each half,which took me about an hour to carefully sand down on each half.
