Pin-up Girl, Bomber Belle

[web-one1]

I finally finished this Kitkong's Model Mansion a 1/8th scale Pin-up sitting on a 1000lb dummy bomb.
I purchased the kit back 2017, it was a 60th Birthday present to me from my wife and has been an ongoing project since then with big gaps when I needed to work out the bomb stencil and teach myself how to paint Female skin tones and stockings.
She is painted slightly different to many I have seen as in to represent a pin-up wearing a U.S.A.A.F. WAC's skirt, lingerie and shoe colour (WAC shoe's in WWII were never high heels)
All painted with acrylic's and a touch of ink, both brushed and airbrushed with lots of stripping back and restarting
Not sure I'm up for any more female skin painting for a long while !!!

Hi Alan

That a nice piece of painting , reckon you've done well not only the flesh but the stencilled bomb and the leatherwork she nicely wears ......good work on the stockings and suspenders

Why not enter a piece in class of your choice in FOTM and vote in previous month , there's also the Vignette & Diorama comp running
