mostly this year i has been painting with acrylics



part one

that is some good stuff Mark.

Yes, I remember seeing most of them come to life. Some great figures you got there Mark... I particularly like the wedgie you made with the Alpine figure and the one on the motorcycle. Amazing work!

Cheers,
Mario

You really like your German's don't you Mark. Great work mate, its wonderful to see your output for this year. You've inspired me to show my own.

Excellent paintwork.

Rob ... thanks, and i still have a couple of the bits i got off you to do!

Mario ... Many thanks

Tony ... thanks yeah i do like the German subjects ( and there are so many of them! ) but i must admit i'm starting to branch out and i'm actually painting my first "historical" atm.

Marc ... thanks

Part two ...........

Cool, I am actually surprised you haven't jumped on that Paddy Blair kit. 1/9, pretty rare, and super cool. Your second post of things looks good also. you have done more in one year than my output was for 5 years. No wonder I am getting out.

Very nice work Mark on all the pieces. The first german bust at the top of the thread has an outstanding paint job on the face, I like your style.

Cheers
Tommi

Excellent paintend figures Mark!

Marcel.

Carl ... thanks, it was my first large scale alpine figure and a joy to paint, there's a blog on my vbench

Rob .... yeah i love the look of it but money is tight so ....

Tommi .... many thanks, that bust is the first i did with acrylics!

Marcel ... thank you! and here is Part 3 .....

Zhukov finished!

i finished the Celt before the end of 09

Mark, a fantastic collection of work, such memorable SBS's and each one a great painting reference . Many thanks for posting .

Cheers Ken

Hi Mark,
gotta admit, I really like how you get your skin tones, as well as some of the clothing effects (like the Desert Rats swat stained shirt)

Been a good year for the hobby bench!

Cheers

Hi Mark,

what an output, great figures, and Ken is right, all with very useful SBS's! You'd deserve the 'pF Modeler of the Year' title for this, seriously!

Congrats and hope to see many more of your beautiful figures!
Happy New Year!
