WIP Tinderbox Models: Squadron Leader Sandy Johnstone 602 (city Of Glasgow) Squadron Raf September 194

Hi All,
Euro Militare has a habit of offering a surprise at oddest of times Not always in the competition room,Friday evening before the show is a good opportunity to catch up with old friends spin a yarn and sup a pint or two
Having known Jon Barker for some time as a fellow Gravesham Military modeling club member and a darn good sculptor that never finishes any thing,to find that he has completed a figure and launched Tinderbox Models was mind blowing,having had a look at this figure earlier in the evening presented from his pocket in a zip lock bag,I thought the figure top notch and entertaining that Jon had it in his pocket all evening,after a few more pints and many laughs off to bed,in the morning pulling on my trousers to find this little man in MY pocket odd but in a nice way.
So for Jon I thought I'd add some colour to it.........
Thanks for looking.
Best Regards

Lucky boy Paul, it's a great sculpt.
I know you will do it due justice.

It's looking good Paul. I saw Jon at euro who has some very interesting projects on the go at the moment.
Good luck with this one.

Great start Paul!

Nice to see the little fella with some colour on after having been a wee grey man for so long.

I still chuckle when I think of the Southcliffe!

Cheers,
Jon.

Cheers Keith,Gordon and Jon,
here's a few more snaps,the only problem with a blue uniform there is little you can do but try and keep it real,you can go a wee bit nuts with the highlights and shades it will look OTT,I've still a bit to do here and there but were not far off

Humbrols for the blues with thin was of indigo to give depth,face all oils.
Thanks' for looking
Best Regards
