Another AMAZING paint job from Mike, I don't know how he does it!? The detail is fantastic. He just gets better and better.
...some other examples of Mike's incredible work for Model Cellar

The ANZAC bust:

Thanks for the opportunity Paul.
Only two sleeve badges, bipod & base left to do.
Then final photos for you to confirm before I box him up & send.
A really neat project, so glad you had the patience for me to do it.

Happy 2018 Mike
Glad you thought it was "naff" - I get ya mate!!
Yes almost all acrylics though a dash of oil thrown in to help depict metals.
Look forward to doing some of your little ModelCellar lads one day too.

Thanks Keith, one advantage of this quick snapshot approach is you not only get to see parts coming alive with paint, you also have chance to see minor detail quite often missed in completed views.

Always grateful for your response Chris. As always honoured to have you visit.
Name dates & will see if we can sort it.

Hey no matter Bob, it can happen with Facebook as things can quickly be lost in your Timline there.
PF has longer resonance time for articles & shares I find.
Still FB good place to quickly share & get feedback on progress.
For those who haven't connected with me there yet.
