They look good Terry.Im crap at painting figures.

[Guest]

Thanks dave they took a bit of time to get the eye shape right and I don't think they look to far of the mark.

[Guest]

What I tend to do Dave is when it comes to the eye area paint the white in block over the eye and cheek bone then add the skin tone working up from the cheek the white underneath should lighten the cheek bone. Then carry on until I get to the eye by wich time there is very little paint left on the brush. I then go over the eyebrow and do the same as above. I use a dark tone to start with then gradually get lighter on the features. the same method is applied to uniforms but I then lighten the the last colour and drybrush it on the highest parts

Initial layout of figures and equipment although I am tempted to change it around abit once I have added some more bits. The fire extinguisher is going to change from red to a light green as I know they are that colour on all pics I have seen

With the aircraft and a few of the other bits nearing completion I don't think it will be long before this is on the completed page. Still a little ways to go yet tho
