Here are some photo's of a figure I am painting for my good friend Dan Morton. It is a beautiful 54mm sculpt of a WWI Belgian Guide by Pf member Fernand Backaert.

Very nice Roger,

Lovely colours and a great little figure.

Dan could be very happy Roger.
Didn't you forget to paint the granate on top of his bearskin

Marc

Thank you Marc, as far as I'm aware they didn't have a grenade emblem on the colpack. But you are worrying me now, Dan? Fernand? Where are you?

Roger

Thank you John, your comment is appreciated.

Roger

When i look very good at the bearskin, it seems that there is something sculpted in.

Nothing there Marc, it must be just my painting

Wow, I like your work on this piece, Roger.

Marc, you sure its not Rutherford B. Hayes?! LOL

Thank you Paul

Nice work Roger. The reds of the pants are particularly nice.

I thoughly like the green and red colors you used,well done

Thank you, your comments are very much appreciated.
I did have a little long range help though from my friends Seb & Ulrich who critiqued some photo's I sent them and put me on the right track with the reds and greens. Cheers fella's

Roger

Hi Roger

No matter . Hope you do the same when I send pics from my figures.

As I told you I like the "dirty" look of the figure and the dirty painting of the boots and the overcoat are very good. Totally I think you have done a very good paintjob.


Ulrich

Thank you Ulrich. I hope your ready to help with the next painting challenge I set you

Roger

I'm very envies on this one !!

Cheers Patrick. You'll be pleased to know I have another Belgian in the pipeline.

Roger
