Carl .... yes! I'm trying to get it finished for S&L

Tiny Steps.....

entrenching tool pretty much finished and more work on the bleedin' sheet

Hi Mark,
yep, creeping up on your goal.

Looking good so far, isn't it just great how that last 10% of details causes almost as much aggravation (if not more) as the first 90% of the project!

Cheers

PS, thanks for the cheer on about the wedding sculpt!

Wow mark, that is lookin very cooooool and you just keep gettin better with every figure.

Jamie .... the last 5% has killed many a kit Thanks for dropping in

Stu .... Many thanks


Whether to weather .......

After a quick email discusion with Stuart I'm forging ahead with the weathering, snow and some ice will complete this ( and a sling for the rifle ) the base is made and just needs some mud/snow to top it off......

Very close to finishing now

Hi mark
great great painting job
Is it not too dangerous to let the rifle loaded direct to the stomach??
I don't find the website for those Stormtroopers figures or a dealer, have you?
thanks

Great job Mark. This is really coming together. Not far to go now mate.

thanks a lot Carl

Carl .... cheers and see below for the boots

Christian .... Yes the rifle is very dangerous but he's too cold to care. And thank you!

Tony ..... Thanks again Almost there!

Ands thanks for posting the link Carl ..........


Snow Business .........

Slapped a bit of MS mixed with pastels onto the base and made some foot prints and general mess, used Aero filler ( microballoons for the main snow on the base and baking soda for the fresh bits and the snow on our fellow. Paper sling on rifle.

some more snow on the Greatcoat I think

Mark, stunning paintwork and a great finish , wish now I was going to S&L to see it in the flesh . Good luck in the comps.

Cheers Ken

Awesome work Mark

Carl ....

Ken ..... Thanks

Pedro ... Thanks again


Finished!

This is done as far as I'm concerned and just the shots to do for the box art

Hi Mark,

This photo aint half bad mate at all and I must admit you have done a superb job on this, I'll be sendin you some more figures to paint

Stu

Beautiful paintwork Mark my compliments!
Some great snow and mud effects.

cheers,
Marcel.

Nicely finished Mark.

weathering effects are one of those things where 'less is more', so your handling of this is excellent.

Just enough for a miserable sentry, not so much that is over the top.

I can only go

Cheers

Stu .... cheers!

Marcel ..... Many thanks

Jamie .... Again many thanks


Final shot ........

this is my first attempt at a box art shot .... ISO 80 !
