Hi Geoff, hope our little detours didn't distract too much

The end result is great, makes the best of what looks like a nice sculpt.

It will be interesting to contrast with Jeff's yellow-yellow version when he's done it (mojo allowing).

BoL with the Baron,

Neil

Hi Neil, Nothing to worry about Neil, I suppose we should have done it on a different chat page but it gave people something different to read.

Yes I am very pleased with him and the way he turned out, and I shall be watching with interest Jeff's version.

The Baron is a nice sculpt and cleaned up well, I'm wondering how I can get something to look like feathers to go around his Tricorne but that won't stop me getting on.

Cheers for now before we get carried away again

Well, I suppose you could try these?

I have sometimes used 'real' materials in my models (eg my Mum's hair for a horses tail and mane ) but it somehow seems outside many modellers' expectations (I have been toying with the idea of furry fabric for bearskins etc).

Hi Neil, I have some furry fabric I was going to use with 1/35 figures at one time, but was wondering how it would take paint, it's gold and I want it white, will have to try it...… now where did I put it????

The feathers link looks good.

Cheers

[Geoff Charman]

Many thanks.

That is a nice finish Geoff. I must have missed a bit but I like the colour of the jacket. Superb.

Thank you Bob, I am really pleased with him and he started a good discussion ref. tunic Colour, so is it correct or not? I'm pleased with it so that's what matters.

With the quality of dyes, who knows. If your pleased, that's good enough.

Very nicely done Geoff. I enjoyed the discussions as well.

Many thanks, yes it certainly added a bit of "colour" to the thread.
