    Hi Francisco

    He's come up well for you. Uniform colours especially seem to work & give a feel for this "digger".

    Couple of recommendations:
    - avoid spotlight directly on figure as it tends wash put colour & creates shadow
    - run some of your flesh tone over the fingernails, they look a bit pinky & bright.

    Trust this helps mate, it's a neat figure I'm sure you're proud of.
    Such a shame many of Phil's figures aren't really available now days.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Mike

    Great work, love the wood grain in the stock of the .303. The colours look good for the Aussie uniform

    Thank very much for your words friends, and Mike, thank you very much for your advices, I´m a follower of your excellent work and is for me a honour to receive your recommendations. The photograph it isn´t my speciality and I´ll try to correct the colour of the fingernails with your advice.

    Well done Fransisco. You've captured the right colours for the uniform. Nice work on the figure and groundwork.

    Great job Francisco! Like Mike I'm forever kicking myself I never got one of these kits when they were available.

    Hip Nap!

    For the jacket, a little bit dark #101 Green Grey, and for the trousers #93 Brown Violet, both from Vallejo Acrylics. That are the base color. For the hat I use a little bit different colour than the trousers.

    Thank you very much for your kind words.
    Best regards. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

    Well done mate, this was my first commercial release,must be 20 years ago. never got to finish a paint job on him, l found a basic kit of him with a few up dates to him it would be fun to re release him, but mate it was a pleasure to still see him still going around keep the good work up...
