Another 54mm from Fredericus Rex. Almost done but it requires more work on the gaiters, this will have to wait until I come home on my next leave in January as it is back to work tomorrow. :thumb down:

Roger.

Thanks Carl.

No it's a bit breezy here.... 150 miles NE of Aberdeen probably going to be worse, I daren't even look at the shipping forecast

Roger.

Looking good Roger.
If you have some spare time, look at the right eye again.
First thing what I saw whas a monocle.

Marc

Very nice Roger but as Marc says, look at the right eye. Still better than I can do but doesnt look quite right.
How did you get to be lucky enough to manage to work both Christmas and New Year? We always tried to work one or the other, and when you get home Mid January everyone has forgotten New Year. Have a good one anyway and as you well know you cant do much painting when the boats on her beam ends.
Enjoy

Don

Thanks for the comments and yes the right eye needs some attention but to be fair it's not so noticable unless blown up so huge... a lesson to be learnt there . Having said that I will fix it though.

Don, we have two crews so work alternate Christmas's so I'm looking forward to Christmas 2012 :lol: No painting foe me for a month but I've got some flats packed to clean and prep.

Roger.

Forgot to say, he's wearing a monocle.

honest??

Of course Marc. Only until I have time to "remove" it.

Looking good Roger very nice blues and reds.Will have to try a flat one of these days they look very nice.


Cheers David

Dan

David, Dan, thanks very much fella's.

Roger.

Outstanding perfect, Roger!!
Very nice colours.

How long do you need for painting such a figure?

Thank you Joachim. this one took about five days I think but I wasn't at work so plenty of time to paint everyday.

Roger.

Thank you for your answer!
Spending this time was worth it.

Man this figure looks great!!!!
Very nice lights and shadows.
what color blue you used as a base?

Thank you Daniel.

I used Winsor & Newton Artists Acrylic Phthalo Blue Red Shade as the base for the coat.

Roger.

Have Merry Christmas while at sea, Roger, and a happy New Year! Looking forward to more of your work, when you get back!

Prost!
Brad
