Heres the completed under a fiver build bought at this years Cosford model show. Any competent figure painters look away now! I was pleased with how it turned out but it was a lot more involved and fiddly than I remember from my youth! The Oss looks a bit shiny in the pics but its just the light ,maybe we can say hes a bit sweaty ?Heres the pics including the last few taken at the regimental barbeque , sausage anyone?(or should that be saucisse?) thanks for looking ,cheers tonyDSCN2896.JPGDSCN2897.JPGDSCN2898.JPGDSCN2899.JPGDSCN2900.JPGDSCN2901.JPGDSCN2902.JPGDSCN2903.JPGDSCN2904.JPGDSCN2905.JPGDSCN2906.JPGDSCN2908.JPGDSCN2909.JPGDSCN2910.JPGDSCN2911.JPGDSCN2912.JPG

Considering the distance away from your 'comfort zone', you've made a cracking job of that Tony! Put it on your display shelf with pride.

PS I guess that leaves me last, as usual, in this GB!

Yes paul i really enjoyed the change of style and tim , ive been looking on e bay already and got a black watch highlander in the stash that might be getting dusted off, although its hard enough doing figures without having to paint a pleated tartan kilt !!!! Thanks everyone for the kind comments
