    This two-figure set ( https://tommyswar.co.uk/product/tw32s06-the-visit-of-king-george-v-france-1918/) includes 1/32 models of King George V and a Field Marshall of the Staff Office, depicted as if King George Was visiting the Western Front. The figures are 1/32 scale and cast in light grey resin and sculpted by Nino Pizzichemi, box art is by Alex Long.

    So far the figures have been assembled, primed and flesh undercoated ready for oils. The uniforms have been blocked in ready for shadows and highlights, the uniforms are been painted with Lifecolors WW1 uniform set ( https://www.astromodel.it/cs45-uniformi-inglesi-set-2.html ) created for/by Tommys War, with mixes been made with Scale75 artist acrlyics;

    Working away on these two, happy(ish) with the upper uniforms, not so much with the trousers / jodhpurs so think they will be repainted in oils to get better blending. Spent some time on the flesh areas last night as well so they are coming along nicely.

    Following a post elsewhere on here and a link to a video on the IWM site, it appears that the king on his visit to France wore khaki jodhpurs, so it was back out with the oils to create a khaki shade. The boots have also been painted, only a couple of hours work - how, I don’t know

    Nice change! I think the change in the King's trousers makes the figures look a bit different and creates visual interest. And you can say it's totally realistic ;)

    Hi Steve

    Coming along with these , the change of colour on HM adds interest

    If I may comment .....Might be pics but have a look at the generals right boot at back , does it need filling to the back seam ?

    Presume your adding the rest of the strap for bino's on HM

    All credit to you for working in this scale , interesting figures

    Happy benchtime

    Nope I think you are right, smidge of Vallejo putty required. Yep need some very thin 1mm tape to make the straps for both figures

    Is the Field Marshall figure intended to portray any specific individual? Not many men attained the rank of FM and all seem to have had large moustaches! Just curious.

    Plinth arrived from ElGreco (scale75), so cut up some coffee stirrers and stained then rubbed back tot he wood and then painted in the white ends. Drilled a couple of holes for the paperclip wire and popped onto the base. 1mm tape has arrived so can finish of the the straps. Nearly there now;

    Near enough actual size;
