Great progress with the painting, I also heard Mike worked in a hospital and I think he was into re-enactment, but that was many years ago. Last saw him walking around Euro dressed as a GI! All the best Mike wherever you are.

I can definitely see the attraction of this figure Paul, wouldnt think it was 80`s figure looking at it.
Great job on the painting i really like the sabretache detailing.

Steve

Looking good so far Paul, always liked this figure and like you wish i had got one at the time.


Cheers David

Hi All,
the next stage,as I said it need's a tidy with a little filler and paint then on to the next bit.
I was hopping to find some one that sells leaf's in this scale (90mm),I know they do a range in1/35 scale...?
Its slow prog i know,hope its worth the wait.

Hi All,
I think I'm more or less there,just the odd correction to do,but,
At this point he puts a smile on my face,for it was a long time in coming 20 somthing years,getting the figure not a smile I mean!
Any way hope you like the end result............

Geoff, that image looks like the one out of the W/G book into the vally of death.

Paul, an excellent finish all round, congratulations.

Cheers Ken

Cheers Ken,very kind.

Carl,I was going to buy some,then had a moment of madness,a mass of very dry leaf's had blown under my garage door,gathered round my bike's front wheel,so in that moment of madness I grabbed a few and in to my freshly cleaned coffee grinder and pulsed them down to in scale leaf size?
Glued on with pva,happy days "Blue Peter" has a lot to answer for!
Thanks for looking.
Best Regards
Paul

Hi Paul,

It may have taken 20 years but well worth the wait, great job Paul on this classic. Thanks for posting the WIP's I've already downloaded the pics, if I can get to within 50% of that work I'll be pleased. Well done mate look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

Keith

I hope it lives up to expectations in the flesh.
