Hi Keith,

You've done a really nice job with this. He looks convincingly tatty. Even more impressive when it's all done with only 5 colours. Bravo. Hope all is well.

Pete

Hi Pete
Thanks for looking in Mate.
It was a good sculpt to test the limited colours and a pleasure to not try to add or convert the original piece.
Yes all is good with me. We are in the UK at the moment and until the new year catching up with family and friends.
And what about you Mate, are you still laying down some paint?
All the very best wishes,
Keith

You've achieved a very effective bedraggled ragamuffin finish.
Very well done.

Cheers,
Andrew

Keith,

All is well in the US of A. We're moving house in two weeks so all the painting gear is packed up at the moment. I'm about half through the classic David Grieve figure of the Grenadier Colour Sergeant from 1914 (now available from Bonapartes). Still a fantastic figure. You'll be surprised I'm working on a Guardsman. Still experimenting with the acrylics but I'm pretty happy with the results I'm getting. Definitely showing an improvement which is the object, isn't take. Take care Mate!

Good luck with the move Pete.
I guess that the paint brush will grow to a four inch?

HI Ralph,
Good to hear from you my friend.
I must say that throughout my sculpting and painting life I have avoided the dirtier subjects but this cracker is screaming out to be grubby.
I trust that all is well Mate.

Quite possible mate. Just have to convince my wife that Guardsman red is a nice colour for the walls.
