Hi Mark,

Thanks for the close up mate. I'm having humble pie for breakfast.

The eyes look great.

Tony ... Many thanks for the input mate


Some minor work still to do on the coats fittings, gun hand now fixed but still needs a little more work. Canteen started

Canteen painted pinned and glued in place, next some straps

Base is almost there, and figure on for a tester ..........

Mark,
Absolutely great work. You have to lineout the eyes. They really popup.

Marc

What a cracker. Excellent work Mark. Figure and base go togther nicely.

Mark,

That ground work is superb, spot on mate. I must admit the figure is lookin well goooood, I think you should do more of these funny coloured figures(not german cammo and field grey)

You should look back 6 months and even a year and see how much you've improved

Carl ... Thank you!!

Marc ..... Thanks again how do you mean line the eyes out? are they bugging??

Tony ... Thank you too !!!

Stu .... Glad you like him But I like field grey And I have a cabinet of shame from early 2008 ... ShuddeR!!



Final push!

well I pulled my finger out and really put some time in today, he's now attached to the base and the last parts are glued on.
Lots of stuff to do getting it sweet and blended into the groundwork, but I think this is almost done

Hi! Mark.
Great and perfect finish.
Excellent!
The color of the uniform, the skin tone and a ground work are very wonderful.
I liked it very much.
A gorgeous masterpiece.
I congratulate completion.

Excellent work Mark and funnily enough I've been reading about the Crimean War this time away at sea.

Roger.

I waited until the completion of the miniatures and I think waiting is vindicated me did a great job.
Bravo Marc!!!


Alexandros

I like your smooth painting as well as the weathering!

This is now essentially done, I think much more and I will spoil it.

Many thanks for all the comments and the input, it is appreciated!

I echoe Carl reply

wow what a beauty.

I'm SO very happy to see Mr. Corry sculpting Crimean War subjects once again (one of my favorite subjects).

I will absolutely have to acquire one of these, so please do keep us updated on the availability.

He turned out great Mark!!

Roger.
