Just some quick pics on the initial stages of this great figure.
The face is just pre-shaded acrylics, the oils will go on at the weekend.
The Lee Enfield from Reedees is extremely well sculpted and I've just laid down the first of the wood paints.

Looking nice Gells, I like the look of the face mate nice one

Great work on the head Grant.
You seem to be getting quite good at this sort of thing

Very good flesh tones, and I like the decor on the headgear.
The graining on the rifle is effective too.

Watching this thread with interest

Great painting Grant,
Turban detail, face, beard, rifle........all straight out of the top draw.
Awesome.
Cheers
Keith

Very impressive face indeed

Geez Grant, you didn't waste any time getting stuck into this one. Great start. The eyes look pretty intense and the woodwork on the rifle is exceptionally good.

Cracking start Grant. Really like the eyes and head scarf. Woodwork is spot on. Look forward to progress.

Cheers

Ron

love the flesh tones

Nice work so far, I look forward to seeing it progress-
Scott

wau, it is very nice.

Great fleshtones, really like it. I would be very interested in your technique with the oils over the acrylics. Will follow closely.

I just know this trooper is going to come out looking sharp!

Hello Gells, Nice start to the face. The pattern on the scarf and wood grain look great. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Best of luck. Regards, SG

This is going to be nice Gells

Ron

Finished off the face and the Lee Enfield is ready for wash to tone down the silver and for the sight to be fitted. It will be weathered dusty to reflect the desert environment.

Nice tan! Rifle looks good as well.

Adrian

Fantastic mate real weathered look to this guy Grant Gat looks good too
Steve

Nice work on the face Gels, nice and weather beaten, Rifle is looking nice and will look even better when dusted up slightly.

Steve

Wow that face is great, mind you i thought it was great when you "only" had it pre shaded! I must learn that method, can't wait to see this finished
