    Hi guys and girls. It´s been a long while I don´t post anything. I´ve finished this one a few weeks ago.

    Here is Andrea Miniatures 90 mm Hans-Joachim Marseille beside a Bristol Blenheim.
    The figure is really short of perfect. The plane is not what I expected, a nightmare to build, but it makes a terrific backdrop for the figure.

    Vallejo Acrylics, Winsor & Newton oils and Mig pigments.
    I hope you enjoy.

    That´s a pitty. I was really hoping for some feedback...
    Not even some constructive criticism...
    Well, thank you for looking.

    Hi Felipe,
    I understand that some likes and views are not enough - I think that your scenery and the nice details of the Blenheim cockpit show your skills. The skin tones of Marseille seem to be quite pale but I guess that this is the reflection of the flash of the camera. I would like to see some more pictures of the figure from different angles and with different lighting. Otherwise it is hard to comment on your work more in depth.
    I got this figure as well and all you said about the quality of sculpting and tooling of the kit is correct IMHO.
    Best regards!

    Thank you for your comments, Martin and Whitney.
    Martin, I think the picture really lacks a bit of warmth in it. I´ll try to fix it and post other pictures during the week.

    Cheers,

    Felipe.

    Hi Felipe,
    This is a really interesting model composition and very nicely painted. I am sorry you didn't get much feedback earlier - it can't be a good feeling to spend so much time on a project and get no response after posting. This is the first time I have seen the thread and I look every day on my phone app - so perhaps it just got buried on the forum somehow.
    Cheers

    Missed this one earlier. Great job on both the figure and the aircraft 'wedgie' (y).

    Like it too, a bit more dirt on the line where the plane is on the ground.
    would be better. The plane should wrecked more into dirt.

    I´ll add a bit more dirt and that should do it.

    Missed this one completely Felipe! Very much like the pose and the aircraft wreck. Wouldn't there actually be a lot more debris? I Googled images of Blenheim crashes - there are lots of them. Messy - with ragged sheet metal and broken glass and other bits all over.

    All the best,
    Dan

    Before changing my set up for the kit, I went back to the picture provided with it. The actual picture used as THE reference.
    I had that feeling the ammount of debris and dirt was right .
    Well, turns out the plane actually looks as if it's floating a few inches from the ground. Not much of glass and debris around it. Actually, pretty well done by Andrea's team.
    Check it out and thank you for all the input you've all given me.
