That is quite splendid. Do you only use oils ralph ?

Cheers Colin:smiling3:.
I always use oils for figures and use a base coat of acrylics.For metallics I use Games Workshop acrylics.

Awesome as usual Ralph, had a similar thing happen to a lad standing right next me back in the days I wish not to remember.
only it wasn't a bullet but shrapnel :face-with-head-bandage:

Jim

Where did it happen?.
My Uncle Jim was part of the BEF,he also landed on D Day and was accidently shot in the back of his leg by one of his own men.

View attachment 350981Sorry but that is about how much I would like to reminisce, it just was such a similar circumstance
he even had that same plucky grin on his face.
I never saw him again, I pray God he made it home in one piece.

Hello my Friends.
This is my latest from Life Miniatures.
About 8 months ago I completely lost my passion for figures, mainly due to doing commission after commission(all Napoleonics).I then started to do a lot of ships for myself.
I decided to paint this to see if I still had any enjoyment of painting figures.
Once the painting started (especially blending the oils)I was very happy and enjoying myself.
Anyway I hope you like it.
Ralph.

He looks so real, awesome.
