WIP - Hat painted and pipe added, need to touch up the pipe, also need to redefine his right eye and then find a plinth for him and his dog.

I like the pipe. Great work Steve - the leather in particular is awesome.

so here they are reunited. Its finished apart from the sofa /chair which has been ordered , will need repainting and then putting into the scene. Pilot has had his final matt coat applied where needed, not convinced by his right eye. may need to look into it again, maybe saturday in daylight sitting outside;

The 3 piece suite arrived yesterday, garish doesn't come close, so a 20 minute dip in AK's extreme metal cleaner (that stuff should come with a health warning - smell is horrendous and potent) left outside and then a wash in hot soapy water removed all of the decal/print on the chair. A coat of primer revealed that the pattern is actually embossed into the seat so a rub down to get everything level and then a coat of Vallejo putty, smoothed out with a brush was applied.



This has since been sanded back, so ready for another coat of primer and then good to paint (red)

Chair painted, good test of the 'red paint set' which is very good. just waiting for the plinth so i can put it all together.
