    I have just finished this one and a few tweaks here and there and he is done.
    This is the 2nd time I have painted this particular figure and it was a joy to paint.

    Both are excellent. I do like the face of the blue one a little bit more. Really well done.

    Hi Bob

    Lovely to see a piece from your bench , a company whose products are very good and obviously a pleasure to paint

    Like that waistcoat , nice work on the pouches/waterbottle and overall presentation

    Why not enter a piece into the class of your choice in our JUNE FOTM comp and also vote in MAY's classes as well

    ....And enter in Vignettes & Diorama #3 running till 31/01/22

    Always good to see the artwork

    Thanks for sharing

    Look forward to the next

    Happy benchtime

    Overall brilliant with some really nice touches, like the water bottle, rips in fabric and the well-worn cartridge box.

    Thankyou all for looking in on my work and the great comments. I'm pleased with the out come.
    Tonton, some of the rips in the fabric are cast on, I only removed a button on the right cuff.
    Thanks again.

    Lovely piece Bob. Particularly like the skin tones on this version, very similar in tone to your recent US Dragoon.

    Just getting the hang of flesh tones in acrylic paint. Ha Ha. The last one I did of these two looked a bit jaundiced.
    Thanks for looking in.

    Very nice work Bob. You get better with each one you paint.
    I like the youthful face that you've achieved.
    The waistcoats on both figures really set them off.

    Cheers,

    The youthful face was more by pure chance than perfect painting. Thank you for the comment though, I appreciate that, thankyou.
