    Good job! I like him. The whole figure looks great with the groundwork and all but I especially like the metal & wood work on his rifle & equipment.

    I have a sharpshooter in the works but with the end of painting season drawing close & 2 or 3 projects to finish first, it'll probably be next fall before I start on him. Yours will be a source of reference for me when I start.

    Roger,
    Good work. I like it.
    I recommend that you should underline the eye's, and accent the upper eyelid. It is maybe to soft in the casting but you should correct it.
    The rest is awesome.

    Very nice, but I totally agree with Marc about the outlining of the eyes.
    Keep up the good work.

    Cheers

    Hi Roger

    Please if it is possible correct the outlining of the eyes. I like the green colours very much and think you have done a very good painting job.

    But how can you send that figure to me in Germany? I think it would be a figure for the show "Duke of Bavaria".

    Is the fence supplied with the kit? The groundwork is perfect too:)

    Thanks fella's. I'll take another look at the eyes, along with some other bits and pieces I've spotted myself that I'm not happy with.
    Georges, the fence comes with the kit, the vegetation is roots dug from my garden. I'll lend you a spade if you want to come and get some:)

    You are lucky, because despite the fact that he post on the forum on the other side of the Channel, it does not go faster!:D

    Georges, do you think we will ever see Sevastopol finished? Or do we have to apply more pressure to our friend Seb? :):D
