    One I have recently finished. I have always wanted to do this figure and think it's a bit of a classic. It was a real pleasure to paint. Please leave me your comments, all are welcome.

    Looks great Mat, I've always said it takes a great deal more skill to paint a convincing parade ground figure than one covered in muck in the field and you've certainly pulled it off here.

    Roger, thanks for the feedback. I really wanted to get across that parade ground feel, thus the very minimal 'Horse Guards Parade' sand/gravel base!
    Cheers

    Mat, in this hobbyn there are those who've been around enough to accumulate lots of techniques they use to great effect and there's also the diligent person who doesn't believe they can produce something worthy and doubts themself.
    I think this is superb and I hope now you will show more self belief.

    Well done mate

    Paul.
