[Ventress]

Just got mine, it cleans up very well and looks superb!

Super sculpt and casting Palo.
I like the unfastened buttons and ragged stitching around the button holes. Really nice detail.
Mark
What can I say, you just get better and better. Incredible painting on the face.
Looking forward to your next installment.
Cheers,
Keith

Lovely start Mark. This is a very different sculpt and one that I hope proves commercially successful.

 

[fabrizio1969]

excellent start

 

[gothicgeek]

Palo ... many thanks It's a very nice sculpt and thanks for the info

Jason and Ben ..... Thank you

Boots ... Thanks for the info ... and thank you!

Xenofon ... Cheers!

Ventress and Keith ... Again thank you

Scot, Joe, Tony and Fabrizio ..... Thank you guys

So some minor progress as work and other commitments get in the way

I'm almost happy with the top lip and the cap is also nearly there

I think I will do the Khaki next, Airbrush to lay down the large areas and traditional hair brushed to pop the details...

Update soon all being well

Lovely painting.

 

[gothicgeek]

Thanks again everyone!!

Ok so....

I have done some work on the battledress...

I'm not sure how this is gonna look so next I'll add details and paint the bags/straps.
I'm pretty sure it will fall into place tonally but I can always work on the khaki some more

Anyone want a shout out on the khaki colours?

 

[Bootneck]

Mark, taking shape following with interest.

Hi Mark ,

Looking good nice uniform colour as well....

I will shout out for the mixes please

Looking forward to more

Thanks for sharing

[Jamie Stokes]

Gee that is coming along.....

I think a subtle shading of the uniform will work better once the straps and so forth are painted, rather than a khaki zebra effect (not that I can recall you ever going that far!!)

Cheers
