    Thanks Nap
    The phone camera loses ~50% of the tone so I hope for better in the Completed pics. Eventually.

    Plodding along.
    Don't know how much progress is visible here but:
    2nd shading of flesh done
    Bread bag likewise
    Grass has had first "damp-brushing"; many more to follow

    A nice, small touch may be to drill out the bayonet/rifle barrel.

    Well... yes.
    But it's ~1mm Ø so I think I'll let that one lie.

    It’s a 54mm figure… about the size of a Historex (I drill all mine out).

    If you ever wish to try it… It’s quick and it’s easy.

    One can use a small drill, or even the tip of a #11 blade.

    It's an antidote to the immediacy and superficiality of modern life.
