Rob......... Cheers whittman will be soon

Dan.......... Many thanks, yeah it is a very distinctive sculpt and fun to paint

Marcell....... Thanks again

Slow progress........

i've fiddled with the visor and will need to tighten it up a bit more... also working on the leather area, goin ok but some dark red/browns needed i think... not my strongest area leather

Rifle sorted and some more leather work

Great brushwork.
i would like to see more shading and highlighting of the green. Seems a little flat.

Marc

Mark, great painting and considering your admission to leatherwork not being your strong point, what you've done upto now is absolutely spot-on.
Looking forward to completion.
Cheers Ken

Marc.... thanks for the input i have deepened the shadows on the tunic and i think it looks better...

Ken...... thanks just get nervous doing leather because it's a natural everyday material. a nightmare in other words LOL


almost there...........

heads now on permanantly and just got a little bit of fiddleing to do and i'm calling this done, been fun and those sholderboards were a challenge

Great work Mark, this one has turned out very well.Like the work you have done on the leather.

Cheers David
