That is really coming together nicely David, the colour palette works well.

Now the fun bit begins....
All the best

[David Spencer]

Thanks everyone. Believe it or not, the flesh base coat is almost done.
Once all the basics are finished, it'll be time to make him dirrrrty.....

 

[Briggsy]

Good going David, I would say something about getting dirty but I've had a few brands already so must be restrained. Looking forward to the next stage.

Cheers Simon

As Melanie has stated, now the fun begins.

Gorgeous George is edging closer to shading.
Just a bit of matt varnish to slap onto the metallic bits first.

(That's not the portrait I'm working from)

 

[David Spencer]

He's starting to look like Jeremy Clarkson.

(Am I going to get into trouble for that, as well?)

You only be in bother if he punches someone and ruins a great series otherwise good stuff.

Thanks.
I have two figs in the display cabinet that look like old colleagues from my local authority days. It's always nice to see how faces turn out. Best part of this hobby.
Hopefully this one will still look like Jez when it's done.

The only figures whose face I recognise is that of the late Sid Horton, funnily enough on Chota Sahib figures!

Ah, now you have me there. Don't know him.

He was the sculptor who made the Chota Sahib figures and could be seen in quite a few of them

[David Spencer]

This should be in brackets: just bought a couple of figures.
This one, made by "The Bodi", was on EBay...

WW2 is a very rare subject for me, but this pirate was too good to pass over.
Their range looks interesting. Lots of characters and some unusual subjects: refreshing.

 

[David Spencer]

Adding a couple more coats of matt varnish to the metallic parts, before heading to the conservatory around midday, when hopefully it'll be warmer, to commence shading Pretty Boy's face and hands.

 

[Briggsy]

Hopefully the paint won't freeze before you apply it, enjoy. Also like the 'pirate' you got, thoroughly despicable looking character, just as he should be.

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

The other newbie.

 

[David Spencer]

First shading tone applied to flesh.
Starting to shiver now, so that's it.

 

[Briggsy]

Nice the face is really full of character with just an initial shade, but yeah time to stop you can't paint shivering the brush moves too much


Cheers Simon
