These look really good to me John. I can certainly see you are making progress. The eyes are fine, by the way. They are not the easiest of things to paint at the best of times. I just paint the white in, usually with ivory paint because I find it flows and covers better than pure white. I then paint a T shape over the eyeball to represent the pupil and top shadow, and then cut it all back to size with flesh colour.

 

[JR]

I think I say it every time, but your figures are progressively getting better and better!
you should be pleased with your self mate

Very kind of you to say Si, lost count the amount of times I have had to re do an eye ,still not put off now from doing the faces . At least I seem to making progress .

Hell JR............I thought he was a wounded Vet from the Revolution what lost his arm in the scrape! If you can't find it you are welcome to use my back story, if you wish Rick H.

Might well have to do that Rick, not searched the bench yet, it makes Paul's look tidy ! I'm now working in one corner , can't help being unt

Sharp eye Gerry ! That my friend is some glue , I drilled a hole into the base, plug glue onto his feet and the wire and stuck him down . Tomorrow when it's dry it should be invisible, I hope !

Very nice John always enjoy your Diorama work.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Super job, John. I don't feel qualified to comment on the tank but your figures are getting better and better every time.

John,
Stand up and take a bow mate, that is a great scene and superbly executed.

Thanks Lee.

Neil thank you, I have at long last started to make inroads on figures, as to the tank remember that it was built by Steve " Rivet " Jones, way beyond my level.

John,

Thank you Paul.

 

[Mini Me]

Yeah JR........just think how nice all them folks standing around make Mr. Jones' T-34 look! Takes some real nice scenery to set it off........I think you did pretty good there Pard! Rick H.

Lovely job done John, I like the position of the boy standing alone in the corner with the ax.

The accidental standing in the glue poop made me laugh.

Cheers,
Richard
