Small scale figure Step by step (SBS). A 1/48 freebie Paul Hicks sculpt is the victim.

Sometimes well most of the times that’s best Tim to shadow in small scale that’s what I do in 1/72 works every time for me very convincing

Most of the time I don’t do eyes on anything 1/72 and below Lee, well, unless I’m feeling a bit flash

I know I’m very late but a great job on him Tim.

Cheers Lee. Doesn’t half make you think doing this. My tendency is just to bang on and push more paint around if it goes wrong…..can’t do that in an SBS….

Just do it. You know it makes sense!

Well, made a start on the jacket…..first the underpaint.


This was made from Red….

Mixed with deep green, which was still on the palette from painting the cardigan. Makes a good dark tone for deep creases etc….

After that top colour was added from straight red.


There are still a couple of stages to go, getting highlights on to him, probably two layers because the blazer is the biggest item on the figure.

Unfortunately these will have to wait a few days. I’ve developed another RA flare in my knees, wrists and fingers. No brush control without pain….which means no painting :sleeping2: Due a steroid jab on Wednesday, so hopefully I’ll be able to continue next week……even holding the iPad is hard at the moment……

See you soon.

I’m sure it will Tony. Glad you are enjoying it……just try pushing paint around, it doesn’t bite after all.
