Great looking figs John, like the rest I think they are your best till now keep it up. :thumb2:

Neat to see you have the same AB nozzles as me, the 0.15mm one is superb for freehand camo and other small work.
If you have a proper paint mixture and pressure you can use it to even write small letters, the shape of the crown lets you spray very close to the model.:smiling:

Fernando thank you. Never tried using the ab that close, hopefully I can try that on the next camo .

Terrific work on the figures mate. Looking forward to seeing them in place
Thanks mate, the arms are fitted to the officer, managed to get the map case on as well. Have done a wash coat as recommend by Tim. Leaving it to dry over night.
Can anyone tell me should I varnish once dry, don't intend to do ant oil washes, or should I :confused:
Hints and suggestions welcome .
John.

I think the officer is perfect, Putie looks like Putie, & the other guy looks like me when I was trying to learn how to surf, stayed in the wave too long, got dumped on the beach & dislocated my shoulder :smiling:. His face is very good, I think, especially the eyes.. PaulE

Wow:surprised::surprised::surprised:!!!

You’ve really outdone yourself this time John, without doubt your best figures so far:thumb2:

Wow Si thats lifted the mojo higher than it was, I was pleased with the officer let alone the others. The new wet pallet is working well it seems, thank you.


Very nice John, you must be delighted!!!
Yes Bob I am thank you.Worth all the struggle in the past.


Nice work on the figures John :smiling3:

Cheers Ralph.:smiling:

yes yes yes! :thumb2: :thumb2: :thumb2:

Thanks Neil, and for giving me the tips for altering figures.:thumb2:

Hi Paul thank you, he does have the tendency to fall over or off like some one on a board.:smiling3:

Thanks Rick, as long as I keep going fwd I'll be grateful. The biggest problem I think is we don't do figures that much.

Thank guys.

Pretty chuffed with the comments :thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
I took some more photos with the Cannon.

After a struggle I managed to paint the watch hands, though the hour hands looks very thick :surprised::smiling3::smiling3::smiling3:

Off for something to eat.
Bye.

It would be safer and easier if you use a camera rather than a cannon next time mate.

Great work as always mate. I expect to see you in the figure GB teaching us how to paint figures. Well maybe just me then :smiling5:

Hi mate thank you, yes rather a poor choice of words :smiling2: No chance of that Steve, me teaching unless they were all blind ! :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:.

John,
The other guys have said it already but great figures, they really look the part.
Thanks Paul.

Great looking trio John. :thumb2:
Cheers Fernando .
