    Hi Folks

    This is my latest piece. Its been sitting partially painted for some time now and needing something to focus on after a few crap weeks I decided to splash some paint around and get this piece done.

    The Sapper Foot Grenadier bust is from Nuts Planet and is 1/1oth in scale. As with all Nuts Planet kits, a real pleasure to assemble with flawless casting.

    Mostly painted in Jo Sonja acrylic with exception of the white which is painted using the AK Interactive white paint set.

    Sorry for the bad photos again taken on my phone, I will get my camera sorted out one day soon.

    Any comments most welcome

    Not a great deal deal to be said about this one, Love the colours on the tunic, and the bearskin is a cracker.

    Hi Kev

    The AK white paints are quite opaque and brush on very smooth with only a little amount of thinning with tap water. The strokes do not leave any brush marks and the heavy fine pigment seems to give good coverage with not many layers needed.

    I like the deep shading you gave the jacket Tommy. Gives it a unique look (y)!
