    Just finished this piece from Troop 54, its a 75 mm cast in resin. I will confess, I did not paint the lacing detail. I thought that painting the black, yellow and red would look messy. Sorry for not being a purist.
    Any way fun to paint and being one of those that Wellington referred to as "the scum of the Earth".
    Painted all in acrylic, including the face this time, which is a first for me. Any way onto the pics.
    Thanks for looking.

    Very nice Bob, great paint. I like the base, although it's very simple, but it's good. He does not care for so much attention, and one focuses on the figure. Well done :)

    Cheers Borek ;)

    Thank you Borek, I really appreciate your coment. I wanted to keep the base work simple, as you say it would have detracted from the figure.
    I hope you are well.

    Very, very nice Bob! I love the way you handled the wear and tear on the bottom half of the figure. Lovely and not over done.

    Cheers,

    Well done as always Bob. Fine first effort on acrylic painting of the flesh tones; I am still trying to get the knack of it. I always seem clean the face up with oils. Must keep trying though.

    In your work I have seen, this is the best one. Balance of military uniform shadow and highlight, and weathering at feet are particularly wonderful. Congrats! !
