These look really good to me John. I can certainly see you are making progress. The eyes are fine, by the way. They are not the easiest of things to paint at the best of times. I just paint the white in, usually with ivory paint because I find it flows and covers better than pure white. I then paint a T shape over the eyeball to represent the pupil and top shadow, and then cut it all back to size with flesh colour.

Sharp eye Gerry ! That my friend is some glue , I drilled a hole into the base, plug glue onto his feet and the wire and stuck him down . Tomorrow when it's dry it should be invisible, I hope !

Very nice John always enjoy your Diorama work.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Super job, John. I don't feel qualified to comment on the tank but your figures are getting better and better every time.

John,
Stand up and take a bow mate, that is a great scene and superbly executed.

Neil thank you, I have at long last started to make inroads on figures, as to the tank remember that it was built by Steve " Rivet " Jones, way beyond my level.:crying:

Lovely job done John, I like the position of the boy standing alone in the corner with the ax.

The accidental standing in the glue poop made me laugh.

Cheers,
Richard
