He looks superb. Lettering looks spot on to me.

Thanks chaps I'm really enjoying this bit

Thanks, everyone, as always, for the very kind comments. I’m sorry for the long gap between posts; there have been many distractions at home (having a new bathroom installed being the main one) that have prevented me finishing the second two crew figures, but they are finally done.
As usual the painting stage (never mind the photography) has only served to flag up the poor finish of my sculpting, but I can’t bear to go backwards so I'll just have to live with it.



For some reason the camera has distorted his eyes- I promise they look absolutely fine in real life. Who says the camera doesn’t lie?

And here’s our laughing chap with the rope



Prince William, anyone?


I used a satin varnish on their waterproof gear but it’s way too much so I have toned it down now by mixing it with AK Ultra Matt, as is hopefully noticeable in these ‘in situ’ shots.





So next in line are the four wobbly GIs, although I might just treat myself to a little ‘fix’ of Napoleonic first.....

Thanks again for sticking with me in this marathon

Your two latest figures look really good. Can't fault your sculpting work.
