Hi to all, here are the first steps of the painting work I am doing with this original, scratch built figure created by our mate, Dan Morton. I am painting it, as a commissioned work, and this is the third I´m painting from this amazing collection dedicated to the 1WW.
All painted using acrylics. All comments welcome.

More pics and advanced work. I still have to paint the ground and make and fix the reins.

Superb! I'm awe-struck about how you painted the rugs! Everything looks just right to me!

All the best,
Dan

Beautifull work.

Now that is amazing. The rugs are fantastic but I've a simpler question - what colours did you use for the camel?

Cheers

Huw

awesome work going on there

very beautiful! Compliments!

Nice job, Eduardo. The camel is beautifully painted, and I particularly love the fine work you've done on the rugs

Grat work, Eduardo!

Thank you very much, friends. For the rugs, I use as model a pair of pics that Dan sent me.
The color of the camel is a mixture of ocher, brown, black and white, adding a lot of washes using more ocher and white each time.
Just a moment ago I made the reins and rings. I use tin sheet to make the two reins, that are fixed to a pair of rings, fixed at the same time, to the rein under the chin of the camel.
I made the rings, using the wire of a notebook, because it is malleable, but very strong.

Excellent work Eduardo!

As the others said, the camel is fantastic, but the rugs are just superb.


Cheer's,
Jeff.

Thank you Huw and Jeff.

The scout is looking great, Eduardo!! I like the face, the hat and the shirt particularly. He looks like a tough guy! May I suggest a little more suntan?

All the best,
Dan

Thank you Dan. The skin tones are darker than it seems, I took the photos with an only closer spotlight.

Gosh - you work so fast!! There's not one thing less than perfect as far as I can see, Eduardo! I'm eager to be able to see it here in Omaha.

All the best,
Dan
