Looks like the cloth from an old seaside deck chair, pretty good.

Cheers Simon

my reference is this picture for everything I do,so hope to be so close as possible,and hope the files are going to
be upload now

 

[Briggsy]

Ah yes that's a good reference picture and I see what you mean about the cloth of the chair. It looks like the jacket and trousers are slightly different colours, I remember my father saying not many of them had matching sets when he did his National Service. Good luck with the medal ribbons.

Cheers Simon

Oops sorry mate, I reckon you could get away with tinting the jacket with some highly controlled green washes, but really don't sweat it, this is your version you are allowed to make it look better.

Really didn't mean to cause you any issues Mario in my defence that is the first time I have seen that picture in colour. If you are going to try and change it try on a practice piece first until you get the technique right. Good luck mate.

Monty is almost done,after struggling with the ribbons,I don't see it good,so they have a color and it's fine for me,I can't do more
have worked on his chair also,put the sand on the base and flowers also,only the static grass,put everything on there place
and he is done,

Mario

 

[Briggsy]

Still love the stripes on the chair seat.

Cheers Simon

 

[Henk]

Like Simon says, that chair looks great, the stripes will really pop this when you put it all together. About the colours in the photograph, is it an original colour photograph, or a colourised black and white one? Either way, dont take the colours as gospel, an original photo would be 80 years old, and colourised photos are an artists impression....
You are doing fine, I would not change anything on account t of the photograph.

Hi Mario

Nice lining on the chair material , going to look really good when put with Monty

Well done to you

Looking forward to seeing more

Have fun
