Hello, here I leave with you the last work I did in August, figures ....
this is a corporal for British Infantry in France, with a small base. The truth is that the base is a bit loose but I think talking about modeling the figure is the best I've done, I leave with you pictures and you can judge.

Hi Felix,

Nice work, You'd be better taking a pic in the morning or evening light before the sun is too strong. Only thing I can see is that you've left off the unit and divisional marking on the upper arms.

The bright light is hiding a lot of what you have probaly done. Good use of the signle figure on a simple base.

Thanks for sharing.

Al

Thanks for the answer, because if you say that I will make better time when you can do the photos. As for the unit since this is a failure models and large

Felix as Alan has said the sunlight does effect the ability to observe your work and detail, however it does make for some very good pictures.

nice work Felix what paints did you use, try for the life of me but i just can't get that good a finish on my brits. Ant

WOW!! I wish I could do half as good! As for the photo technique, you can shoot in what we call, "open shade" , or use a light diffuser, even a piece of translucent cloth to"soften" the light.

Nice detail Felix i particularly like the "stubble" on the guys face it gives it that personal touch

I like the 5o'clock shadow. However as Al pointed out the figure needs a regimental shoulder flash and a divisional marking if it's late war which the Sten says it is. Also the rubble is too well ordered and tidy. I've never seen a collapsed or blown up building look that tidy from personal experience and I've seen quite a few.

Hola Felix
I really like the pose of this one, and you mentioned some shortcomings with the base, but all I can say to help you there is to add a lot of finer debris to fill the gaps between the brick sections to achieve a look of being 'built up' with rubble. Imagine the chunks of masonry and brick that has been dislodged with bombing, and how much of this material would be pulverised to dust and fall in the same areas. Little piles maybe mid-shin deep would work, and a couple of larger ones against the wall maybe... Also if this is to be added, then the dust cloud that would have been sent up would mean there's plenty of it covering the buildings lower sections at least...
The figure looks great, especially the stubble as mentioned. I think if you try to blend the stark shadows in the creases a little more you would be on a winner!
Cheers

Well, thank you very much for the answers, the truth is that I fit these comments because they help me improve: It is clear that Karl is right is very sorted debris.
