I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I so enjoyed painting the Airfix US Marine that I decided to paint something else right away!
This is a Tommy’s war figure I’ve had primed and ready since May 2021 when I used him as a size guide for the RGA Gunner I sculpted (Link https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/1-32-scale-wwi-royal-garrison-artillery-gunner.324500/ if anyone’s interested), but never quite had the guts to paint.
I have to say he was a delight to paint (sculpted by Nino Pizzichemi), the detail is very crisp and the casting very clean. Sadly, the future for Tommy’s War is uncertain as Darren Parker-Mead has decided to close down at the end of this year, and it’s not known whether he will sell the moulds and rights or not. He has given plenty of fair warning and has full stocks of almost everything for now, but time will be called eventually.
Just for clarity I have no connection with Tommy’s War other than being a customer
I didn’t do a thread because I didn’t feel like it, but I’m rather pleased with the outcome so I thought I would post him.

The base is also from Tommy’s War , made by our very own @Andy Belsey. I just added the roots and the barbed wire.
