WIP Young's Tanky.

[housecarl]

I've volunteered to paint this for someone, and I'm glad I did as it's a stunner.
I removed the cap badge as Steve Readdie is doing one a bit more in scale.(thanks Steve)
Still early days,
Carl.

[Tarracus]

Nice!..and the maroon jumper suits him very well

 

[bagelman1952]

Very nicely painted. However, it maybe me but it looks like he has a squint (eyes looking in different direction)

 

[pmfs]

Nice start Carl, love those fleshtones.

 

[user 5827]

Great job

 

[tonydawe]

Great start Carl. A much more subtle paint job than the box art.

 

[Mark S]

Very nice work, Carl. Fleshtones are great.
Well done.

[gothicgeek]

Nice!

I plan on doing this one in the future!

Keep us posted mate...

 

[Akritas]

Nice start Carl and the fleshtones look very good. May I ask what colour combination you've used for the tanker's uniform and it it's oils?

Cheers
Nicolas

 

[Tony Barton]

Looking good, but the lining of the hood should be the same dark khaki as the collar. Both were faced/lined with woolen cloth , rather than the khaki drill canvas of rest of the suit

 

[Edward]

Excellent painting Carl. The only thing I noticed is that maybe the eyebrows could do with a little more work. They look a bit "one colour".

Great idea Steve doing some 1/9th cap badges how about a LRDG one also & maybe some other cav units?

Appreciate you sharing this project Carl, one again you're giving us a different interpretation of Young's work.

Lovely work, Carl. Beautifully painted face! Can't wait to see this one finished.
Cheers!

 

[housecarl]

Thanks for looking in folks.
Nicolas, the suit is Vallejo UK tank crew and German biege 50/50.
I used this as a reference.
Carl.

 

[Jazz]

Very nice work Carl. I like this a lot.

In relation to the suit, I have photo of my father and his crew taken in the period wearing these and there isn't one of them that looks the same! In my experience when I was in the mob during the 80's with all our advanced techniques of manufacturing and production it came from the factories looking slightly different, if you looked there wasn't one of us that looked exactly the same Squaddies being renowned for customising kit we'd have to "improve" the stuff anyway (at least till the RSM spotted us)
