Completed Sgt Kings Liverpool Regiment

This Tommyswar figure has taken me quite a long time but this is where I'm at.

 

[Chris Oldfield]

Very impressive, Jed - like the uniform colours & shading, & the scratchbuilt trench is outstanding!
Nice one mate.

Many thanks Chris

Hi Jed

Figures looking good , nice uniform colour with good colour tones ....that trench club looks viscious !

Trench base looks interesting as well

I ought to add that I pinched the idea for the trench from the artwork for this and it's companion figure from tommyswar,bases are certainly not my forte!!

One of the advantages I see for those chaps who paint busts. I like your work on this… and I’m not sure I’d like to share a trench with him either!

Great use of a wine cork - I've never seen that before! Top stuff!

I do all of my figures on wine corks,good job I like wine and my wife enjoys a bit of fizz

I created that base for Tommy's War and it doesn't bother me that you copied it rather than using it. You've done a great job. The Germans liked using woven hurdles as they noticed that they could flex and fall back from a nearby explosion more than other types of revetment.

Thanks Andrew, I don't mind buying but I like having a go at making things, the bit I really don't like is painting them as I struggle with the colours and tones for some reason,that's why I mainly just do figures on a basic base!! I'm hoping your book will show me what I'm doing wrong.

 

[Jed]

Moved slightly further forward with this figure and base,still a bit to do.

 

[Jed]

Well I'm calling this done now,mud built up around the feet,a bit more touching up.
