discussion Completed ,Tonys Cosford under a fiver build- Man on Oss

[yak face]

Heres the completed under a fiver build bought at this years Cosford model show. Any competent figure painters look away now! I was pleased with how it turned out but it was a lot more involved and fiddly than I remember from my youth! The Oss looks a bit shiny in the pics but its just the light ,maybe we can say hes a bit sweaty ?Heres the pics including the last few taken at the regimental barbeque , sausage anyone?(or should that be saucisse?) thanks for looking ,cheers tonyView attachment 305858View attachment 305859View attachment 305860View attachment 305861View attachment 305862View attachment 305863View attachment 305864View attachment 305870View attachment 305871View attachment 305872View attachment 305873View attachment 305874View attachment 305875View attachment 305876View attachment 305877View attachment 305878

Considering the distance away from your 'comfort zone', you've made a cracking job of that Tony! Put it on your display shelf with pride.

PS I guess that leaves me last, as usual, in this GB!

Yes paul i really enjoyed the change of style and tim , ive been looking on e bay already and got a black watch highlander in the stash that might be getting dusted off, although its hard enough doing figures without having to paint a pleated tartan kilt !!!! Thanks everyone for the kind comments

Brilliant Tony what a great job, and i thought he'd spiked a black pudding.

cheers steve , yes his sausage got a bit too close to the coals so it does look a bit like, as the french say- Le pud noir !
