First "round" fig. with oils.

I've made a note of it Vitalino.

Nicely done Roger... everything looks aces.

You did remember to paint the back of the fig didn't you?

Look forward to the finished piece.

Colin

 

[billyturnip]

Cheers Colin.
Back? I'll just check.

Roger

 

[Eludia]

Also remember that as well as a front and a back, these 3d figures also have a bit in the middle (the bit joining the front to the back)

Cheers,
Billy

Now it's getting confusing. The flat world is far simpler.

 

[Joe55]

Good one Roger! Just do what you all ways do with the flats, just wrap it around !

Joe

 

[Ron Tamburrini]

That'll do for today it's time for some flat action and this needs to dry before I go any further.

Thats a good days painting Roger , looks like you nailed the tunic colour to a tee not an easy colour to get in oils

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks very much Joe.

Ron, thanks. The tunic colour is really due to using an acrylic undercoat and a lot of luck.

Roger.

Roger: It looks good and one or two days in a oven and the shining disappears. Or you use a very thin layer at last over the uniform.

Ron: I will publish a photo later how easy it is to make that colour with oil

 

[billyturnip]

Thanks Ulrich.

 

[Edorta]

I like your work so far Roger. I see the colors very proper and accurate. I follow.

Thanks Eduardo.

 

[swralph]

Looking well.

 

[tonydawe]

Good work Roger, the uniform is looking good mate. Still a bit shiny but nothing a few coats of dullcoat wont fix

 

[NickM]

Almost fell off my seat when I saw this one has three dimensions. Nice one Roger, he's looking great so far mate.

 

[billyturnip]

Ralph, Tony, Nick, thanks very much fella's. I'll try not to make a habit of this round painting, it's harder than it looks.

Roger.

 

[Ulrich]

[billyturnip]

Thanks very much Ulrich. I will save those for future reference, just in case I ever paint another WWI round fig.
I have done a little bit more today but probably not much is noticeable since the last pic.



Hope you are having a good birthday.

Roger.

 

[billyturnip]

Update time.

 

[ChaosCossack]

Looks good. But I'm getting suspicious... you're only showing one side of the fig... Roger! You didn't paint the back, did you? I knew it!!!!
