Hi

Just photo of the crew all in place, temporary of course.




Granddaughters 19 the birthday to day so much merriment at Race Towers.
More later in the can if I get time.

Just noticed , my that gunner has some muscle in his right arm !

Removed some of the extra muscle !
Gave another coat of paint to all the figures
Next was the faces :thinking:


Enjoying these !
Also finished the acrylic work on the car and have given it a coat of gloss varnish. This can have overnight and all morning to dry, then the fun can begin.
Comments of the faces please, say what you think. Personally I think they have improved.

Damned, caught out, ! Just noticed his jacket :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:. I know he found it, and as it was better quality he kept it. That will have to be the story. Luckily Neil once he's on his seat no one will notice the German markings !
John.:surprised::smiling2:

Thank you gentlemen. :smiling2: Really enjoy mixing the flesh colours and doing the faces in general.


Just finished the oil work on the car, one mistake forgot to put the decals on:crying:. Do you think after i've done a mat acrylic varnish top coat they could go on then ?

John.

John.

Cut the decals into parts and just add some of them - looks more aged then.
Otherwise a good job, did not notice the missing decals, who did to be honest.

John, where you are going to place the decals just put a thin coat of gloss enamel let it dry then gloss the decal again when dry then apply your matt finish of choice.

I have been watching from afar mate. As you know I am the last person to give you advice on figures. Plenty of people here who can do that for you. I am just impressed how you are coming on leaps and bounds with the figures. Once you struggled with painting faces, now its - how is the best way to sculpt them. Wont be long before you will be giving Peter G a run for his money. I am so pleased with your effort to stay as true as possible to the photo. Outstanding work sir. Looking forward to seeing everything in place.
