discussion Valkyries 75mm WW1 Royal Flying Corp pilot

[Steve Brodie]

Valkyries 75mm WW1 Royal Flying Corp pilot with trophy, gorgeous model with only 4 pieces of superbly cast resin. As usual all undercoated with SCale75 Artist acrylics and then finished with oils. Map is from the internet, scaled down, printed and folded. same for the small map in his pocket.

His expression says it all. Aren't I good! The map is a nice touch. All in, an excellent model.

That's superb Steve. The leather work is really well done. Beautifully presented.
One small point - the base looks to be lifted from the wooden plinth at the back left corner.

Really love this - makes me want to have a go with oils.
The lifted base is a real shame. Have you considered extending the groundwork over the darker portion (using miliput or similar), so it blends seamlessly right to the wooden plinth?

That’s not a bad shout actually

Excellent job. The leather jacket is particularly well done, very realistic. G
