U.S Tank crewman Ardennes

[razor]

Thanks for looking.
This is the first 1/35 figure I bought and after several abortive attempts I've decided to re-visit it.
An Alpine U.S tank crew, the head is also Alpine with the face drilled out and replaced with a more weary looking Hornet item.
As always any comments or advice are welcomed.
Ta.

Looks good to me

Nice job cleaning out the old head for the new one, makes the Alpine figure have a very different look

Thanks everyone.
Today's entry for the smudgy- vision trophy.

 

[Viking Bob]

That's really good painting do far, nice colour's

 

[Chris Oldfield]

Spot on - like the weathered look of the clothing & helmet, he looks like he’s been in the line for some time.

 

[razor]

Thanks.
Nearly done I think.

 

[Chris Oldfield]

Superb work, Razor!

 

[Viking Bob]

Excellent painting, looking very good.

 

[Blind Pew]

Excellent painting on this one. As I always say, those apparently simple uniforms are often anything but - you're doing a grand job

 

[Jed]

IT just gets better

Thanks to you all.
After increasingly dumb, expensive and outlandish ideas for a base I've gone for something safe and traditional.
Made with plaster, Mig mud, static grass and dried roots. The fence is balsa wood and picture wire.
Also my first test fit.

 

[Viking Bob]

Fantastic!

 

[razor]

Thanks all for the kind words and encouragement.
Done with this one I think.

Superb work on the figure, simple but nice.
