Appreciated Adrian
Yep I am looking forward to smaller figures for awhile, though have enjoyed & am still enjoying the challenge on this guy immensely.

Been a lot longer than I would like for these next progress shots.
Work got in the way unfortunately - it has a way of doing that ;-)

The webbing etc is top notch on this Mike nice one

About bloody time Mike!!

Great progress mate

This is looking great,Mike.
Excellent work so far.

Breath taking...

Took on board your advice about water bottle too Tony

Here's a quick practice photo of head with reworked collar taken the other night by my mate Michael Agnew.

Just Awesome!!

Finally done! Though not on his proper base. Took a quick snap before hitting the sack tonight.
Will endeavour to get some more shots of full figure in days to come.
Bottom half to finalise stages on this thread for your consideration.

A relieved modeller ;-)

Hi Mike,

Unbelievable, incredible, astonishing, amazing and any other synonyms along these lines. An epic piece of painting and the most life like face I ever seen.
cheers
Richie

Downright beautiful !!

Joe

What's blowing me away is how you replaced part of the casting with real scale wool dyed the proper shade of khaki - none of that 1/6th crap with the big stitching. Amazing job and I am sure epic patience!

Colin

Outstanding painting Mike.

Thanks Colin though not sure what you meant ref "replaced casting"?
I just added a helmet cover from fine gauze bandage.
The rest is paint.

Mike

Just being funny that your uniform looks like real wool. Too smart ass to be understood I guess.

Wow, Mike a fantastic work.
Regards
Andy
