Hi Simon

Nice spots on the missing pieces ......that poor badger though !

It's a really interesting uniform , Brads info is useful as always

Look forward to seeing the next update ....once you've recovered from the wedding

Have FUN @ the bench

Oda, Nap, thank you both, I have wanted to do some of the Kaisers troops for a long time but always resisted, glad I have given in to the urge.

The wedding was brilliant thank you, an emotional day she is after all my only daughter.

Brads input is very helpful and greatfully recieved it saved me from quite a glaring error, as for the badger well the first one was better but hey ho!

Cheers Simon
 
Not as much progress as hoped but it's a start. The face I am quite pleased with maybe one or two areas to refine like the tash, blond hair so blond tash but it needs more definition. Colour is a bit bleached out, probs need some filters to pop on the desk lamps.

Well after stripping paint off doors today I made sure I got to sit at my desk this evening. It's been a bit frustrating as I find green to be a hard colour to paint for some reason. Anyhow, his jacket is now what I believe is a good colour, will await Brad's approval, I have also started the trousers, boots and shako.

My demon Granddaughter is here tomorrow and Sat & Sun and I get my monthly eye injection on Friday so may not get to the bench till next week, how depressing.

Cheers Simon
 
Been painting, won't get back to the bench much before Monday, needles in the eye and the Granddaughter sleeping over,oh well.

Done some work on the tunic or Waffenrock, pretty happy with the green mix of Vallejo Flat Green and Black Green. Shade is with added Vallejo Dark Vermillion and some targeted glazes of Army Painter Matt Black. The highlights are straight Flat Green, though both Shade and highlight need more work.

His trousers or as worn with marching boots Stiefelhosen, are Scale Colour Deep Blue with added black, same as above. Highlights are Scale Colour Deep Blue with added Vallejo Flat Blue and they also need more work.

His boots and shako are Vallejo Dark Grey with the highlights built up with layers of progressively lighter grey and shaded with AP Matt Black and some SC Deep Blue. They probably need less contrast though.

I'm fairly happy with him but would like to know if I've made any glaring errors.

Hi Simon

Really good updates , initially I thought the green too bright but with the washes looks very good indeed

This is a nice subject and a interesting V bench to follow

Looking forward to seeing more andyour figures in scale @ Bugle Call

Happy benchtime

He's coming on very nicely.

Cheers gents, can't quite capture the dullness of the green police uniform that Brad suggested, like I've said before I struggle with green for some reason. As this one is turning out better than my last few green uniforms I'll live with it, still more highlights and some shading still, maybe that will help.

Cheers Simon
 
He is looking good Simon. I think the colour tones are about right, that green does not look easy to work up.

Cheers Rob, been thinking about it and might go for a series of tints of just the Black Green.

Cheers Simon
 
Keep er rollin, Briggsy, looking good!

Cheers Steve I'm champing at the bit but we're duty grandparents all weekend, just got back from Rugby Tots with the little terror and now we're watching Peppa Pig. Oh well I'll enjoy it all the more when she's handed back to my daughter.

Cheers Simon
