Hello guys,

The figure I am currently painting, is my second sculpt attempt (Standard Milliput).
I'm doing the job with oil paint over a Mr. Surfacer primer.

The head is a Hornet's, the boots are Tamya's.

Pics :

The first two are waiting to be painted :








When completely done, I'll post the result.
Of course I hope you guys like it.

So that means everything else you made? That's incredible. Absolutely top notch sculpting. And the painting is equally great.

Are these going into a diorama?

Hi there Matt, I made this figure for a diorama I am working on now. It will depict general Patton and three or four GI's, having fun with the general's dog Willy. Of course Georges Dodge Command Car will be the center piece of the scene.
The seated GI is also a sculpt of my own, my first to be exact. You can see him in the first picture.
Thanks for your hope giving reply. G.

Steve, thank you too, the Garand man is not a sculpt of mine, I believe it's a Warriors, oops.
I must have given the wrong idea in my thread, sorry for that guys.

Joachim, thank you mate, it's hard to do, but great fun ! And I will try to improve by the figure.
