WIP Stormtrooper Officer, Royal Horse Guards 1830

[Geoff Charman]

Geoff,

That is an excellent result. I am most impressed with it. Superb painting.

At the moment I am working on a very old Rose 54mm figure version of the very same subject, and another Rose 54mm of a Life Guard officer with the bearskin headdress.

Chris

Many thanks Chris, I started figure painting with the Rose 54mm figures back in the late 60's, I still have them but when I look at the paint they are rough but it was early days, I used Plaka paints in small tubes I believe they were. I must strip the paint off them and have another go at them sometime.

Excellent work Geoff, look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

 

[Nap]

Many thanks Nap, it may be some times for seeing it as I will not be going to Yeovil or Poole. He does look better in the "flesh" as usual, I'm dead chuffed with the way he has turned out.

Geoff

Something to look forward to seeing you and your work Geoff ...stay safe

Superb finish Geoff.
There is some real trick paintwork required on this bust and you have mastered it amazingly well

Many thanks Nap, nothing wrong with your busts mate, you do some amazing work.

My word making them larger certainly show them up well and I can see some bits I need to touch up now, surprising what the eye misses.

I think I need to get a decent plaque for this one from "Name It" instead of my normal printed ones.

Thanks again,

Geoff

Thank you Keith, he certainly was a challenge to paint but I like that sort of thing and I am really pleased with the end result.

Thank you Tony, I don't normally like them blown up as it shows too many flaws in my painting but this time I only noticed two which I have now corrected.
