Wasnt happy with the yellow stripes, so have refined them and started to add on the yellow spots.

Started Painting the ground, Dark brown mixture, with mixtures of various browns from dark to light and wet blended on the ground work.



DIo Vietnam ground clutter scattered onto a layer of watered down white glue, over various applications



Test fitted Cyril to his home;



Put on the 'in progress shelf' to dry overnight, and this morning a sealing coat of Testors Dullcoate sparyed over the top and left to dry in the sun. Next will be the river;

Vallejo Still water added , after building a dam out of Panzer putty, hopefully i will be able to either pull it away or cut it away. I have also dropped a few leaves into the stream, and when dry will fashion some ripples.

One River done :smiling:, Jungle planted :smiling: , need to finish off the tree branch, a few yellow spots and a 'wash' to join the colours on his body. Will need to repaint the base gloss black i think as a few areas whwre i missed masking the bottom of the base :disappointed2:

[Steve Brodie]

Looks different, and better with a black base :smiling:

A marvellous splash of colour Steve - really nicely done. The black base has pulled it all together.

Hi Steve
You certainly tackle some unusual subjects. You seem able to turn your hand to anything. Much smaller than I imagined. He really does look superb and on that brilliant base very eyecatching.

Thank you all for the kind comments, need to push on and get the branch painted, found some Vallejo dark slate grey and light sienna pigments, which have since been added onto the groundwork.

After ordering some moss scatter yesterday for the branch. I spent a few hours clearing years of ivy (lime some creature out of a scifi film with its sticky bits) and came across a load of dried moss, so now have a shot glass full of the stuff. Nature to the rescue.
