discussion Battle Of Britain ( Remembrance )

[Robert1968]

My good lady bought me a small frame with what look like poppies and I have a few figures I wanted to display.


I've made a start while my Whippet waits to cures


Given a primer of black negro as I want the dark to show through


I have sprayed it Revell Aqua Carmine red thinned down to about 50/50 light coats. 1st coat on


I have two figs that will be going onto a grass base and a Red Setter

Update Second coat of Carmine Red


I'll be letting that dry before getting on with the centres of black. I have a scarlet red coming. I'll add a little black to it and thinned down this will be in the shades.

An interesting & clever idea Robert

 

[Robert1968]

Well I think I may have got it too the point I'm happy with this base. I have given 2 coats of Matt cote and now it's in the box to cure. Once I get my extra RAF paints I'll start on the figures and the internal base.
