Got this one completed. I'm not the best figure builder by any means but I think it's turned out alright.

Yes they pass out Tomorrow ( Friday 3rd November ) His Mum and Dad really like it so it can't be that bad.
I had to change the buttons on the tunic and emblems on the collar and neck also paint the plume a different colour so none of the decals were used. As they are for the Grenadier Guards. Oh and I removed the medals that are on the chest.

Sound job! Especially as figures aren't your usual faire - I have one somwhere that I've been too scared to get stuck into - Looks great, and I'll wager that he's gonna love it!

Thanks John. And he does really like it, so I'm told.

Crackin' job Ian mate, turn out great to say you're not figure painter (like me and about 70% of the forum ).

Have fun, John

A great build and paint job Ian. That's a nice gift to receive on passing out, I'm sure he'll cherish it.
