Thanks Nap, only trouble with oils they take some time to dry as mine are not the quick drying ones.

Yes, white primer is good for highlights like that and for tropical sand coloured uniforms where I make a very thin acrylic wash and apply about three thinned heavy coats and the paint builds up in the creases but still leaves a stain of the light colour for the highlights, saves a lot of time.

Still must get on, I have found a couple of odd heads and headgear from models that had alternate heads, etc and have been painting them up while awaiting the paint to dry, just for a bit of practice.

Bye for now

Nice work on a great subject Geoff.
Gordon

This is looking great Geoff, the leather too. Keep up with the great work.

Many thanks both, enjoying painting him and a nice change to paint more with oils instead of just flesh.

Cheers
Geoff

Great progress Geoff. The leather looks very good.
When you do the final finishing of the gloves, it might help to darken or lighten them so they contrast with the coat more.

Thanks Rob, I was going by a still from BA with regard to colours but I think you are right, they were finished but I will give them a darker shade.

Cheers
Geoff

There you go Rob, added a coat of Citadel Earth Shade to the gauntlets also fixed in place the head and the holster ready for the cords and did a bit of seam lining.



Now on with the cords which are about half done.

Cheers
Geoff

Thanks Nap, it's called Agrax Earthshade, I also find the Nuln Oil Shade useful which is dark grey.

Cords made and just primed, will leave now to dry and have a cuppa.

Cheers
Geoff

I think he is finished, cords and revolver link in place and painted, on base and label, which I found on web, fitted.



Pleased you guys liked him, Cheers

Geoff

That looks excellent Geoff. The base sets it off very well too.

Nice work on this one Geoff.

Superb painting on this one Geoff, he looks very good. Nice job on the leather work.

Thank you so much Rob, a super moulding helps, you were right about the gauntlets.

Any chance of another member of the cast??

Cheers
Geoff

Thank you Nap, I am really pleased with him.

After I finish the head which won't be long the next one will be



Sorry about the naff pic

Many thanks Mike.

Thank you Bob, I do like using Artist's oils, the blending is so much better for the way I paint.

Cheers
Geoff

Another beauty, Geoff - I like your subdued, gradual blending of highlights & shadows, & apart from the leatherwork previously commented on above, another part that's particularly eye-catching for me is the wear & weathering on the pistol holster & Sam Browne. Superb work & looking forward to your next SBS.

Thank you so much Chris pleased that what I really enjoy doing is liked by others like yourself, all comments are gratefully appreciated.

Cheers
Geoff
