Very nice. Did you paint the lettering on the smoker?

Hi Bob,

Thanks so much for your comments mate and your generous offer of assistance. I've sent you a PM. I'm very pleased you like my version of your figure. Hopefuly it will encourage other figure modellers to buy The Imperial Gallery figures.

Hi Carl, yes a little freehand painting with a 00 brush. Thanks for your comments mate, I always appreciate them.

Hi Tony,

congratulations, superb work on both the figure and the terrain, the camo and the face are especially outstanding!

Thanks
Denes

Thanks Denes, I really enjoyed painting and building this figure, despite a few problems that I created for myself with the bergen and the rifle barrel. Overall I think I captured the look I wanted for this figure and the groundwork matched my expectations when I pictured this figure in my mind. Hopefully any Marines or Paras who were part of The Big Yomp will say I did a reasonable job representing an epic moment in recent British military history.

Beautiful paintwork Tony! My hat of for painting the camo.
And the great ground work just finished it perfectly.

Cheers,
Marcel.

I think there is no doubt about that you did, Tony! IMO the Falklands are very interesting (and neglected) topic, you picked a great figure and complemented with very high standard painting, unusual camo and groundwork, my kind of figure!

Congrats once again!
Denes
