nice

Looks great Carl. I've done this figure also and the face isn't the best moulded. I think you've done a great job making it look as good as it is.

 

[1969]

Looks promising so far Carl, i like the fact you have his eyes correct for him looking at his watch.

Very nice start.

Actually Carl, this looks very promising. the flesh tones look great to me. I really like the little bit of stubble you got around his mustache area. Check the eyes though. His right seems to be looking right, and his lefty seems to be focussed straight ahead. Keep it up!!

Carl, excellent start, the skintones look spot on. Any greens in there.

Cheers Ken

The moulding on this guys eyes are very asymmetrical it took me about 7 or 8 attempts to get them even close to looking the same.

Thanks for the comments, I've had a re-do at the eyes. I did even them up a bit with a little dab of Milliput. No greens Ken, I'm not as adventurous as Mark. This is going to take a while to paint, I've just spent 1 1/2 hours painting the reserve chute.
Thanks again,
Carl.

Hi Carl,

Looking good so far mate. Can't wait to see some more pics.

 

[SRP]

Nice start Carl.!!!

 

[housecarl]

I've started on the weapon container. The question is should each individual panel be highlighted and shaded as individuals as is now, or gradual from the top down?
Cheers,
Carl.

 

[Gellso]

Both?

Do them individually first then run a darker wash from halfway down to create the lower half overall shadow..no?

 

[housecarl]

Thanks Grant.
Carl.

 

[housecarl]

Finished the reserve chute, I replaced the release handle with wire. Lifejacket is nearly finished. It's a time comsuming paint, but good fun.
Carl.

Starting to come together very well Carl. I may have missed the maker of the figure ?
