    Hi Gents,

    This is my latest piece,but as per my Luke Skywalker unable to keep it for myself :( this is for the main importer of this range.

    Knight Models Captain America(latest version)

    Again in white metal which isnt my fave' material to work in but the sculpting is superb as with all this range... once in primer you can really appreciate the sculpt.

    As usual painted in oils over acrylic and Humbrol enamels.

    The blue areas are yet to be highlightes,im just building up the shadow areas working again by the overhead lighting method.

    The mid section is about finished just needs flatting.

    Check out those abs !

    The flesh areas are still basic at the minute also...

    The shield has proved a pain to get it looking neat,think this is my fourth or fifth try ! stripped each time with laquer thinner back to metal,I knew leaving it seperate was a good idea !

    The shield in the film looks like anodised metal,my first attempt was done in Alclad chrome with Tamiya clear red and blue which looked really cool but my gloss laquer cote bubbled it all up :oops: so now sticking with the oils..

    Im running with this one as I like how it is going ... still lots to do on it here and still wet,red and blue oils take forever to dry !!! (n)

    Hola amigos :) new stuff 007.jpg

    I have been slowly working on this one and it is nearly there... just need to tweak the seams and creases on the legs,paint inside the shield and complete the left arm and belt kit.Then a finall dullcote.

    I have to say its a pleasure painting these,allthough I cannot say that for getting it ready for paint ! If only they were made from resin ....

    Any comments and critique appreciated guys thanks ;)
