Thanks Malc

I'm wondering how to present the vignettes. Am inclined to go for a charge through the cornfield at Antietam.
Can you get 1/35 maize....?

Old phone, so it's back to "turquoise trousers".
First bit of flesh shading.
Bootees next.
(Brogans, not buns)

Nice one David, good to see him progressing.

Cheers Simon

Nice subtle shading on the trousers, will you be adding weathering at a later date?

Thanks Malc.
Yes there will be much more shading of everything first, then highlights all over.
It's a slow process cos I work full-time and use enamels...

An over-exposed photo of William Yankee showing the glacial progress of the face.
He looks anxious.
Time will tell.
(Still wondering about those maize accessories and whether my erratic temper could cope with putting them together)

 

[Briggsy]

Slow and steady wins the race, apparently. No point in rushing and spoiling things now though I am looking forward to seeing him progress.

Cheers Simon

 

[David Spencer]

Slowly slowly…

 

[Steve Ski]

Those colors are looking great from here.

 

[Briggsy]

Looking good, I think your slowly slowly approach is great, I'm nowhere near patient enough for that these days.

Cheers Simon

Thanks everyone
Work is in charge currently so I'm restricted to doing evening bits on the base under artificial light.
More painting at the weekend, I hope.

 

[Briggsy]

Live for the weekend, always a good plan.

Cheers Simon

(Might sneak a lunchtime session in tomorrow)

A very short session this morning in a freezing conservatory.
Another tone of shading onto the face. At least one more to go...
