Hi peter
Much cooler here too. Face is great - very nautical looking. Well done with the cap badge. Jacket is rather nice with it's sheen.

Mick - At least a couple of more days with this one.
Steven - Thanks for looking in.
Jim - Much cooler, to the extent that I actually felt a bit cold while watching Killing Eve last night. The shine didn't deaden down enough in the end, so I had to resort to varnish. Results later.
Tony - Yes, poor old Hans had a considerable disadvantage during the early stages of the war.

The uniform is done:
As mentioned above, I felt that the finish was still too shiny, so I gave the uniform a coat of matt varnish. That did deaden the tones somewhat, so I had to go around adding brighter highlights before giving it another coat.

Ralph - Cheers.
Fernando - The first head had a beard textured onto the face, which I found very hard to paint. I prefer to be able to do it myself.
Richard - Yep, looks like the Summer's over; a pity as it's my eldest daughter's graduation ceremony in Brighton on Thursday (though my role will probably be minding the baby). And congrats on finally getting away on a honeymoon - better late than never! Only been to Guernsey, but loved it and I'm sure Jersey will do you proud. Have fun.

Morning Peter
Soggy start to the week and August too!
With 10 days of rain predicted, you're submariner is quite topical LOL
Well done with the head and cap, lovely scratch work on the badge.
Well done with the leathers, a super change of direction from the original.
Have a good week, no worries about paint drying out this week
Regards

Steve - Definitely easier to paint a submariner during soggy weather (though we've got a rogue hot day today). Glad you like the alternative paint scheme on our man.
John - Weather not looking great for the graduation ceremony, though I gather it's being held indoors - I was hoping to wonder off to the beach with the baby.
This one's finished:
Just the gear and hands to do today, plus some general touching up. I couldn't be bothered to make u-boat decking, so he's standing on a bit of dock-side paving instead.

Very nice work Peter, one small thing though, i get the flare gun, but why would he be holding his gloves in the other hand at the same time, I may have missed your reasoning back up the post somewhere !
