Thanks chaps.
I'm going to continue with this thread and do a repaint of an another Arnhem figure, Mitches Border Regiment Vickers Gunner (mine is a prototype moulding with an Airborne Forces cap badge):

A slightly quirky Moz Corry sculpt. I first painted this about three years ago, and it has long been relegated to a box in the spare room. Hopefully I'll be able to improve on the last effort:

I've now stripped most of it down:

I had real trouble getting the paint off the torso, as I'd given it a coat of Daler Rowney Matt Varnish, which is very tough. I therefore gave it a coat of black to check for smoothness, and thankfully it's OK.
I've left the Vickers MG and helmet as they were, as I think they'll do. The hand holding the helmet will be touched up to match the new skin tones.

Thanks Jim.
I think Sean is by far the better sculpt. I also enjoyed doing his Denison more than I expected, hence my decision to re-paint the third bust. It's nice to be getting some Brits into the cabinet as well.

Many thanks for your kind words Si. It was so well sculpted that it would have been virtually impossible to make him look like anyone else.

The next head:

A typical Moz Corry head - a bit odd, but with a lot of character. The growth of beard was indicated by the sculptor, which I never like, so I had to incorporate the texture by stippling on the colours.

Hi Christopher. Thanks for looking in.
Urquhart got himself separated from his men at Arnhem, something a commanding officer should never do. He did indeed have to hide from the Germans until the British reached his position. He redeemed his reputation by organising the textbook evacuation of his remaining forces through enemy-held territory to the Rhine.

Truly outstanding work on the face there Peter. The Parachute Regiment capbadge is white metal though, not brass.
G
Chris - No probs. There is so much to get through on this site that it's easy to miss things.
Alex - Cheers. Will repaint the badge.
