Lovely seeing this little charmer painted up Andrew.
Beautifully presented with sofa helping figures to pop out!
And thanks for tip on S&D Models now doing Phoenix Models

Absolute treat to reminisce through the old catalog.
Number of these were sculpted by Roger Saunders before Hornet so have his trademark style.

That has painted up very nice Andrew. The sofa brings everything together.
Well done.
Well done.
Thank you for your kind comment Mike.
S&D Models have a very nice range.
It's a pity that the three Phoenix interior backdrops did not join the figures.
Cheers,
Andrew
Lovely job Andrew. Some very neat work on the lady and the chaise-longue. I love her expression - she isn't convinced is she

Thank you Phil.
Masking tape was used for the striping of the sofa, to overcome my shakiness of hand.
As for the lady, the dress had a base coat of Humbrol enamel, washed with a darker oil, and finally dry-brushed with Humbrol white matt enamel.
The dry-brushing somehow resulted in a serendipitous texture.
I'm pleased with her expression. It's come out more or less exactly as I wanted it.
Cheers,
Andrew
Hi Andrew
Great to see this finished and you've done thus credit , agree about the look on her face ....almost resignation to the hand moving towards her ...lol
A nice little set piece and goes to show what can be done with older but classic figures
Hope we're going to see some more from you soon
Thanks for sharing
Why not enter something into FOTM as well as voting in the previous month
Happy benchtime

D'you know - back in the day, when Phoenix was, along with Poste Militaire, the top of the tree, I personally never paid them much heed. Don't know why, maybe I just associated them with the "Follies" range. That is a major regret, as there was much more to them than bums and ****s. Heigh-ho
