Evening chaps, a bit more progress. The remainder of the coatee, the picker/brush and the trousers all started..... Regards Pete

Looks good, typical Brit in Spain! I like the red rather than scarlet of the coated.

Cheers Simon

Thanks Malc! The little details are starting to drive me a bit nuts but have managed to keep my painting discipline so far. The holiday was great...spent some time up in the Cretan mountains which were stunning. Regards Pete

Cheers Nap! Trousers are just a mix of 2 colours...matt white and what I think is called 'leather' Humbrol 62, a sort of mid brown shade. To be honest I felt they were not 'white' enough to start with but now some of the surrounding areas are being finished the trousers look a bit better! Regards Pete

He looks as if he's drunk on the grog, very fitting. Lovely painting on the trousers and jacket, looks great Pete.

Afternoon everyone! Haven't had much time for painting the last few weeks with work and my son starting school, but have managed to get his cuff and the lace on it squared away this afternoon. I think I'm getting close to the end! Regards Pete
