WIP Private, 1/7th Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers, Cape Helles 1915

[BESPJL]

A few more advances on the Lancashire Fusilier from Tommy's War (a funtastic figure) . Going for the final stretch. The figure is tilted because isn't fixed to the base yet.
Thank you for watching

Very nice painting.

 

[Babelfish]

Nicely done, and good groundwork too.

Just one question: What's going on colour-wise with his right upper arm?

- Steve

 

[Redcap]

PLUS 1 - I'm intrigued as to what that is on his uniform?

I agree nice painting and ground work. Same question about the right shoulder.

 

[BESPJL]

First of all thank you watching,

Now ladies and gents

Drums......

The right shoulder one million question (more drums):

Well it's simple, the weapon and part of the right arm was painted before glueing to the torso and it was painted separately to allow easier painting of the torso.

Et voilá!

 

[BESPJL]

Now is with the base paint and wainting for shadows, lights and weathering.

 

[Blind Pew]

That is superb, an excellent figure.

Excellent work, I've had this figure in the stash for a few years now & always liked the combination of old bandolier equipment & early Lee-Enfields used by Territorial units at Gallipoli. Great stuff!

Don't forget 6 VC's before breakfast!! Chris Oldfield you must have heard this more than once with 3RRF!!!

Oh Yes! The old OC "D" Coy before Maj. B used to use that phrase often because he was former LF, unlike Maj. B who was an ex-Warwick.
