WIP Critique Steve by Steve by Steve

[Helm]

Cheers Colin, it's definitely an eye catcher for sure. Thanks Ron from you that's praise indeed but don't worry I can't see you asking me for quite some time

Just a quick couple of pics, to show the planned base layout and a couple of tips for those who do get this figure to show where the wire that I believe Steve is supplying (If not 15amp fuse wire is perfect) needs to go. As well as the pic he sent me which shows it clearly, (the collar is lifted up nice bit of detailing that) for one end and there is a hole in the ear peice for the other,. With hindsight it's a lot easier to attach it to the head end,then glue the head to the body than vice versa I speak from horrified realisation of my own stupidity the other one runs from either one of the two lugs on the 320 along the rear of the battery and to the moulded wire on the figure's smock

Good point regarding the cable attachments mate
I like the look of the base with the cap badge in it's proposed position, works well and makes for a nice display.

 

[billyturnip]

I also like the way you've chosen to display it Steve but one thing has been bothering me now for seven pages..... were you really ever that good looking?

 

[Helm]

Ta Steve, strange but true Rog just shows what leading a life full of sin does to you eh ?

[billyturnip]

I thought it might be artistic licence, like getting Brad Pitt to play real life ugly soldiers.

 

[Helm]

Might be a bit of that as well

Just about done, still some final detailing left which I'll get to but to all intents and purposes I think it's finished unless your eyes know better and please do say so. It's been a pleasure and honour to do this figure. Thanks go to everybody who's commented on it, with a special thanks to Tony Dawe without whose SBS I'd still be floundering and Carl for his invaluable help with DPMas well. Final thanks go to Steve Readdie hope it looks OK to you mate

Excellent Steve, your best yet. Like what you have done on the base too, groundwork looks like the Falklands and just enough to go along with the Sigs badge.

Roger.

 

[Helm]

Cheers Rog I figured a very minimal groundwork would go best. Glad somebody else does too
Steve

 

[billyturnip]

It's minimal but it looks like where it's supposed to be.

 

[BarrieHynd]

Yep works for me Steve. Well done on this one and the presentation is spot on. Glad you used minimal groundwork on the base after all the work you put into the figure.

Barrie.

 

[Helm]

Thanks Guys input like that is invaluable

[Richie]

Hi Steve,
You should be very proud of what you have achieved here. It looks "Victor, Echo, Romeo, Yankee - Golf, Oscar, Oscar, Delta". Over
cheers
Richie
P.S. another Drew immortalised in resin, well done Steve & Steve.

 

[Helm]

Cheers Richie always good to have CSA (Chimps Seal of Approval) added to your figure

Terrific finish to the figure Steve, it was a real challenge for you but looks like you conquered it in the end. Good choice to go with the minimal groundwork, doesn't distract from the figure at all.
You have done the figure proud mate.

All the best
Steve

 

[Helm]

Glad you liked it mate, made it worthwhile that
Steve

 

[Wings5797]

Great finish Steve.
You must feel pretty chuffed not only with your work with the figure but the fact that it's portrait of You.
Very well done Mate........Your best to date? Maybe the Minion Saga pipped it to the post
All the best for 2015 Mate,
Keith
