Very nice finish to thiS Geoff. Lovely subdued colours and like the weathered edging on the belt. The pipe is a great touch, just adds that little bit extra.

Excellent work, especially weathering the cartridge box strap. I just received my copy today.

Many thanks Neal, I did the belt the opposite way I usually do and it seems to work better, might just be a one off but will try it again on another one. I am pleased with the pipe too, just adds to the Hillbilly look.

Lovely job, Geoff. I like the scratched corncob pipe, what you've done with his hat, & the shading on the gumcloth/blanketroll.
Top-notch in all respects, just as always.

Hi Geoff,

Great job! Could you post a picture alongside one more traditional 1/9 busts? To give a notion of the size. I find these busts 1/6 to be very interesting, but I do not know how big they look.

Thank you and kindest regards,

Many thank Chris, as I said in a previous post the hat was pure luck, I could not get the colour I wanted and was going to remove the paint and start again but just thought I would give it a couple of coats of Citadel Earth wash to see if that improved it, left it to dry overnight and that was the result, dead chuffed.

Here you go Filipe, 1/9th and 1/6th.

Quite a difference.

Quite a difference.

Geoff, thank you a lot for your time to take the pic. I was worried that, if I buy one of these, it wouldn't fit my cabinet, but I think that it will

Again, thank you
