Hi Rick

Nice start on the uniform colour

I presume this is the drum you asked about painting a cypher here : https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/painting-a-royal-cypher-on-a-drum.282823/

Happy benchtime

Thanks, Nap.

Possibly my favorite part of our hobby... that moment when our figure first begins to come to life.

Hi Rick

Coming together for sure ...what's the mix on the yellow ?

Might be pics but he is certainly long legged !

what is the figure standing on ?

Thanks for sharing

Happy benchtime

Nap,

Yes, the long legged look is an illusion caused by the backward lean of the drummer as he rests against the soon-to-be-added fence. As for the color mix? I mix by eye but it's approximately 10:1 yellow/light brown. I used Scale Color SC-40 Sol Yellow and Vallejo 70.929 Light Brown.

Thanks and be safe.

Rick

What is the sound of a one armed drummer?
Installed the fence and added the drummer's right arm. I had to shave about 5/64" off of the top of the fence post to get the drummer's arm to seat properly but otherwise no problems
