Ian and Tony, thank you for your positive comments on 'Me mon.'....Glad you like him.

The story is for the most part fact. I added a bit of fiction and mixed it all up.

Joking apart, it must have been a horrible time for the German refugees, particularily children, fleeing west during those latter days of WW2.

Thanks again boys,

Ron

Ron ,great results and my hats off to you for venturing out and doing something different!5 stars from me!

great ron, subtly painted figure but very neatly done. the equipment is prefect. like everyone says..the story of the soldier at the start really reels you in and you look at the figure and feel his despair and tiredness. like usual, quality base.

That is very nicely don ron I like the frosty look you've given it and your weapons are really good

First class stuff Ron .......... You nailed that......... and the simple base really sets it off.

Good grief, this is old!


The figure is the Tamiya Machine Gunner. He's normally seen wearing a great coat, but you get a full uniform too, so I used that. I remodelled the limbs slightly so he could cradle the weapons a bit more naturally. I also removed most of his tidy uniform to try and make him look dishevelled, knackered and wearing a ripped tunic.


As this was my first and only attempt so far at face painting in this scale, it's o.k., but I think he needs some bristles and deeper shadows under his eyes.


Now I've seen it afresh, I'll post one picture on critiques corner and ask opinions, then I can try and alter him accordingly....top to bottom.


Nice to see the old lad once more.....

Very nice Ron. Painting figures are beyond me, if I ever do one, it's hidden in an aircraft.
