Hello Simon:

Obviously, you're not THE Pieman. . . you are one really find figure modeler.
I will follow this with continuing interest. I personally want to say thanks for
going to the trouble to shoot the WIP photos. Really gives us a good idea of
how you work.

Also, I guessed right! I guessed 120mm and sure nuff. . . that is the scale.

Regards,

Kansas Kid Jayhawker

the base for the leather was vallejo 875, scuff marks were then applied to the edges and some scratches using orange brown 981

the leather was then blocked in using 871 for the darker shade and a mixture of 818+871 for the red brown

the scratches and scuffs were reitirrated

a mild sheen was achieved using KLEAR

the belt and ammo pouches done i will now move onto the black leather boots more pics soon

cheers

Simon
