That is a good likeness to Galland, Neil. You won't need much with paint to carry it further.

Cheers,
Richard

Very nice work so far Neil.

 

[Steve Jones]

[Neil Merryweather]

Looking eminently paintable Neil.

 

[rtfoe]

It's so good I want one of these Neil.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[Neil Merryweather]

It's a nice well sculpted kit,all you have to do is paint it

 

[Wouter]

Mr. Galland is looking swell. I built his aircraft a couple of years ago, a Japanese company did a 1/48 figure of him, but this looks much much better! Looking forward to see the paint mate.

Cheers

Hi Neil
All looking very nice indeed. I look forward to the painting.

Well, I finally got the brushes out.
It's a bit different from 1/35 scale, that's for sure!
Contrary to my usual practice of leaving the face till last I decided to do it first and work downwards, to avoid handling the painted areas too much as I go along.
Not up to the standards of the other painters on here by any means, but it's a start.

That's quite enough for one day!
Thanks for looking in
Neil

Great work Neil. certainly looks like our man.

 

[Jason Crausby]

Great Job... the jaunty angled cap and the cigars are a nice touch... full of character!

 

[rtfoe]

That's Galland alright Neil, toning and blending will be fun with such a large canvas to play with.

Cheers,
Richard

Thank you Peter. To me he looks more like Antonio Banderas..........

Cheers Jason, the cigar turned out better than I could have hoped, considering the little amount of effort I put into it

Thank you Richard, the toning and blending is the really scary part

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice start with the wet stuff. Hopefully the hairy stick mojo will return soon

 

[Peej]

Watching with interest as I am doing the same kit. Just need a smidge of filler around the arms and he will be ready for the primer. This will be my first figure so will be looking for tips.

 

[JR]

Even I recognised him Neil !

 

[Steve Brodie]

coming along nicely.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Not much to report with Dolfo ,unfortunately.
I discovered the need for more filler on his shoulders where the two parts of the Schwimmweste meet, so I decided to address that before going any further. I had to put a paper bag over his head though to protect the make-up

cheers
Neil
