You guys didn’t think I was going to let that Hornet Desert Rat head go to waste from my previous project, did you?

 

[Chris Oldfield]

Nice one, Chaz!

Great job you've done on his face, Chaz - it looks "GSR-stained" without being over the top. I note you've painted him in the Forest Green USMC uniform - what colour mix did you use?

From an ex Marine.. Figure is outstanding. Reminds me of Captain Flag. Enclosed is a photo of a souvenir from the Bulldog headed fountain at Belleau Wood

Thank you very much!

Ooops! I seem to frequently need to do major surgery on a figure AFTER I start painting. I thought I had the positions of arms, hands and shotgun sorted out already. I guess not! If the hands/arms/wrists/shotgun don't look right, this whole thing is garbage. Updates when the putty dries.

Hi Chaz,

GSR - gun shot residue/powder
Thanks for the info re. the Vallejo mix, hope you get the arms sorted when the putty has cured.

Cheers,
Chris.

Oh, gotcha! Glad you noticed!

Yup, a bit more finishing/sanding and good to go.

Nice to see another early riser at the keyboard, Chaz. My excuse is the dog got me up to let her out in the garden!

Actually, I'm being a night owl where I'm at.
