    Thanks Nap, those are really good in the pic, I think they might be a later set of figures for across the pond as they seem all US and Mexican? also the base is square but mine is circular, I probably got mine in 70's.

    I don't know if it will be ready for BC, but will try.

    More to do and some tidying up but I think it might make Bugle Call if I get a full day tomorrow working on him.

    Cheers

    This is looking excellent Geoff - I can't get over the quality of your painting of the frogging on the pelisse!

    Thank you kind Sir.

    I use a type of dry-brushing with the side of the brush using neat acrylic paint going from dark to light, then before the lightest coat I pin-washed with very thinned, I use white spirit to thin, Raw Umber Artist's oils then left it to dry well before giving the final coat of acrylic.

    Cheers

    Just finished him, quite pleased with the repaint but decided I don't like white-metal, too heavy, thank goodness for resin.

    Might post a few pics when it's finished Geoff, but it'll have to wait until I've done a figure to go with it!

    It's good to see new life being put into these old figures. Could do with some myself!
