spanner's Master Box 1/35 'France 1944' (Jim and Samson's Figure G.B.)

[spanner570]

Here's my finished figure(s) for this G.B.

Painted in Vallejo Model Air acrylics.
I wanted a dusty, tired and unkempt look to them both, so when the matt varnish was just touch dry, I dunked them both in filler powder and flicked off the residue.



The rest of the figures I will hopefully incorporate into a future diorama.

Thanks to Jim and Samson for suggesting and running this G.B.

Hi ron
A very nice result. Something different for you. An unusual subject - makes you think of the story behind it.

Thanks Jim.

Not bad at all Ron, I suspect most of us were too gobsmacked to reply.
Great idea removing the shoe.

Excellent job mate , as pete says great idea to remove the shoe , gives a reason hes carrying the child in the first place and kick starts the imagination into creating a back story of whats happened up till this point. Great looking base too , did it Costa much? Cheers tony

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated.

Especially Peter. Such comments from 'De Figure Man' is praise indeed.....

Tony - It's (or was) a clear plastic lid from a tub of yoghurt.

Cheers all.
