    Great looking figure. Every cloud does have a silver lining with you causing yourself mishapy but the sheen has been slightly taken away by your obvious preference for goats and not mentioning sheep...

    Cheers

    Thanks Huw. The mishap was a sprained ankle, done shortly before the England v Columbia match. I got back from A&E just in time for the last three penalties.

    Nice job and intersting subject. I'm tempted to try this figures but a look to my grey army is helding me back ....
    They are intersting also to put togheter small vignette with a reasonable cost.

    Thanks Francesco.
    A small vignette, hmm, that's not a bad idea. It would also reduce the grey army by two or three figures. :LOL:

    Well done Roger, you caught the ocher white of the uniform very well, nice red tones too. I painted this figure also, the small areas you talk about may be the folds between the turnbacks? I had to clean them using a small drill.

    Thanks very much Oda.
    I'm not sure I can put on an innocent face if all the plums disappeared.

    Great work, love how you handle the whites.

    For those impossible seams, discovered during painting, put on a couple of coats of matte varnish to smooth them out. Same for surprise rough spots and pin holes.
