Patton - from RP Models

[Nap]

Hi Guys ,

Well here he is the completed piece ...clad in leather with a whip .......thankfully I am on PF ...where we all appreciate quality and skill in producing figures wether its a full one with legs or a bust as this is .
The bust is available by contacting RP at [email protected] or via the facebook page of Hugo Pereira ..well worth a look.

This is a marvelous piece of work Nap!

You also did an excellent job free handing the unit patches. What a steady hand you have! I would of punked out and used decals.

My only nitpick is that the Smith that he was commonly seen with is in blued steel and not a nickel finish.

Again, beautiful work and I would say worthy of display at the Patton Museum!

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the comment ,

Ref pistols these do have a blues wash over them !

The badges ..all freehand ..lots of holding my breath !

Patton museum ..I am honoured you have said that ...as with all of RP models 5% will be donated to a museum in this case to the Patton Museum .

Please feel free to share the pictures with the museum

If you look at the WIP I did do changes to the model but it adds even more I feel .

Thanks for looking in

Hey Nap,

Firearms blue is actually a very deep dark bluish black finish. Here are a couple of pics just for comparison.

A very nice piece of work Kev.
The leather looks great and the detailing in the helmet looks spot on.
I agree with Joe that the free-hand work on the patches is superb.

Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Kevin
Fabulous job all round,this is a credit to you. Also the sculptor who I think has captured the nature of the leather jacket particularly well.
