"pushing forward to Arnhem"

[craigyboy]

Hi all, decided it was time to post one of my pieces as I've been a member since 2010 and have always been too scared to post here with so many talented artists showing their beautiful work, I have always felt slightly intimidated. I visit the site every day to see all the new releases and to view the beautiful works on display, so here's my version of Gordon Mitchell's 200mm para at Arnhem.
painted in oils for flesh, leather and wood, acrylics for uniform and mig pastels for the scenic base.
cheers,
Craig.

I said after the show at Cosford this was something special Craig.
It is a terrific piece of work.
the texture of the Battledress serge...the fibreboard of those tubes, the Cammo, everything is spot on.
Please get this in figure of the month mate.

I have seem loads of your stuff, I think this is the best to date Craig.

Great to see this finished and what a top notch job you have done ..love the equipment and the camo and as Paul says the tubes looks so good .

WOW, stunning. Great camo too, just like the rest of the figure

Superb job on this big feller Craig. I will look forward to seeing it in the flesh alongside the 120mm version. Now all you need to do are the 1/35th,75mm and 90mm versions. Lol
I agree with Nap and Paul about FOTM.
Great stuff mate.

Brilliant work, Craig, every element treated in the same painstaking way. I can't recall seeing a WW2 figure that I've liked so much.

 

[chailey]

Wow, "too scared to post", this is brilliant, I wish I had half your talent with a paintbrush!

Steve

 

[Andrew Perren]

Brilliant work there. Now I feel intimidated.

 

[Chrisr]

Too scared to post your work!!! That is a superb piece of painting. I too am reluctant to post, but I have a good reason as my work is certainly not as good as this lovely piece. You have done the model very proud indeed. Well done. Looking forward to you posting more of your work.
