Well.I think this is it! I still think the pose is not quite 'right' but I didn't want to ruin the model by ham-handed attempts to bring it round to my way of thinking. My only dislike was the sling that I couldn't get moulded convincingly - so I left it off! If anybody wants a superb model to paint then this must come high on the list, wouldn't mind stripping this off later and re-painting it or buying another from both the company and/or the sculptor. The strange base is rescued from a failed Christmas decoration that had a string of battery powered lights inside a glass dome - therefore Herman has a shiny glass dome to protect him and a very simple groundwork to avoid over-complication. I hope this appeals to you 'figure people' I loved it!

Lovely stuff Steve.
I know what you mean about the pose. I guess he's walking around the barracks, not the battlefield
 
Great job. Nice five o’clock shadow in particular. The Camo is excellent as well.
 
That's really good. Not my genre, and thankfully that means I'll never have to paint camoflage like that - you've done a great job of it!

Yeah....snot bad I spose.... ;)
Nice one Steve,looks very cool indeed mate :)
 
Steve, this is absolutely superb. You've nailed the camouflage pattern, a difficult subject to paint, that looks spot on. The face looks realistic also, I like the shadowy effect of the flesh tones. Full marks here.

Regards,

Gavin.
 
Nice one Steve. I like the fact that I can't take my eyes off his stare....somehow it's natural in appearance.

Cheers,
Wabble
