Hi all
I’ve not got bored with the other project, but sometimes something else takes your fancy?

The face and mostly everything is Humbrols apart from oils adding some depth to the blue/gray uniform.

Enjoy your hobbies

Hi Paul

Good to see you painting and posting , that’s a lovely figure , Scale looks 1/16th ?

Like those flesh tones very delicate indeed , nice work on the badges as well

Hi Paul

If I may , think this was the inspiration for the sculpt from this book

Couple of lovely period photographs ( the first colourised )

I love your version. The painting of the face is outstanding, as is your treatment of all those details - particularly like that beat-up camoed helmet.
Thx for showing your work.

Hi all,and thanks so much for your kindness .
Also as always thanks Nap (Kev) for sorting my rubbish iPhone pictures out
Life Miniatures 1/16 scale, I did consider painting another Maureen Dunlop and putting the two together? But looking at them now I think this young lady is fine on her own.
The artwork that’s from the Osprey book looks like the girls are watching a dog fight or a pilot struggling back?
My reference was found in my better half’s book collection.
Life Miniatures recently released Princess Elizabeth in her roll as ATS during the war, I rather fancy that the likeness is uncanny. But that is Sang Eon Lee’s excellent brush work!
Enjoy your hobbies
Best regards
Paul

There's a softness to her eyes that captures one's attention.

Hi all, so after a lengthy period of everything but paying attention to this young lady, but now based up nigh complete bar the odd tweak.
She’s an exquisite sculp! I think HRH in kharki will be on my list at some point……but other things to finish first!
Thanks for following this.
