Very nice John, can see why you painted the right hand cheek looking a bit Red, looks fine.
Evening lads,
Thank's Lee, glad you like him.
Hi Jim, that is very kind of you mate.
JR, cheers for looking in, it played on my mind a bit so I brought the hi-light on the cheek down a tad and reblended the border between.
On with trying to mix a colour for the uniform with the oils, should be interesting.

Hey, this is looking great, John!
That looks excellent, John. It's really helpful to see the change from blocked in acrylics to the light and shade achieved with the oils.
Cheers Steve,
He is starting to take shape.
Hi Paul,
Yes mate, although the Acrylic base coat gives a sense of flesh, it still fascinates me how Oil paints can seem to change a piece of resin into something that looks organic, just with few strokes of a brush. Thanks for looking in lads :thumb2:.

Hi all,
Hoping I have sussed out the workings now.
Put the base coats on the shirt, Tunic and Sam Browne, oils mixed with some thinner to speed up the drying time a bit. I'll leave it a few hours then start shading and hi lites. filedata/fetch?filedataid=241800

Afternoon all,
Just about done with this chap, apart from a little clean up around the edges, also think I might dull down the Brass tad.
Just need to mount him on his little podium

Brilliant John. The shadowing on the face due to the hat is superb.
He looks good.
Pulling together beautifully, John. Ruck On!
Evening chaps,
Jim, thank's very much mate. With the lighting and all that pale Khaki the figure looks a bit washed out, so i'm glad now i gave him that bit of extra shading and a tan, as the face is pretty much the only thing in the photographs with a bit of contrast.
Hi Mark, cheers for looking in, although he is a bit lacking in the body department ,i.e. a bit small, it was an enjoyable figure to paint up.
Hello Steve, he has turned out OK, it is a nice sculpt and very well cast, so painting is relatively easy. Also a bit of a first for me, i did a bit of research
. Wanted to know what the ribbon on his chest is...discovered it is " The Queens South Africa Medal". Great thing about modelling is we can learn something new with each new build.
Just as a thought, i took a picture of him in the Brodie helmet, i still think that speaks WW1 to me, What do you lads think?

Here he is in the Brodie. Just seems like "there is a Tommy". 
Morning all,
Calling him done now.
Will post different angles on the finished figure Thread. Thanks guy's for dropping by, and the very complementary comments from everybody.

Hi Richard
Cheers for looking in, I appreciate your comments, you are very kind
. I still have a couple Tommy's War figures in the stash myself. Would be nice to be able to see Darren, but not likely I can make Telford. Just the other day I was clearing out a cupboard (that means taking stuff out and then realising you want to keep it, so back it goes 
) I came across the IPMS magazine from the last time I went 2018. Then the Health emergency ..... I must make a concerted effort to make 2025.

Hi all,
Just a quick update. Tim Marlowe kindly let me know that I had completely overlooked painting the under surface of the Wolesley helmet in the appropriate colour, so corrected that today, Grass green it is supposed to be here is here is the first coat. Needs a second as it quite difficult to reach now the plinth is glued on, but I will definitely get a second coat on later.
Thanks Tim

Excellent finish, John, that's a beauty!
Very impressive work John. Excellent result,

Thankyou very much sir, it had been a while since painting a full figure so quite pleased with him.
