Many thanks Tony and Bob, I'm pleased with him just have to wait for the Artist's oils to dry on the pipe bowl then I can glue it on the stem in his mouth, then paint the underside and pedestal black and he's finished.

Superb piece Geoff, great paintwork.
I am really drawn to that, dare I say Rembrandtish, weather beaten face. well done.
I noticed that you finished the top of his cap rifle green. I have this figure in prep on the bench and would have finished the top navy blue. Can I ask where you found this gem of information Mate? I don't want another "you missed that" comments.
As with all your stuff I like your work here.
Cheers Keith

Many thanks Keith, I was going to do it dark blue and then I saw the box art and it got me wondering and found that the 71st were a Light Company and they had green caps.

Lovely Geoff! I do love the pipe.



Ken

Thanks Keith, I certainly am pleased, infact I want to try doing a painting of him. I have thinking of having a go for some time and think he will be a good subject.

Thanks Ken, as an ex-pipe smoker of many years, I know how pipes react around the open bowl.
