Hi all,
2010 had been a very slow start due to busy work.
This is my 1st piece of work to kick start this year. Completed over last weekend, spent total about 11 hours.
This is Alpine kit 35090, a beautifully sculpted figure and very painter friendly.
I tried a different style this time playing with brush strokes to create slight different look... not sure it meet you taste but I kind of find it suitable to put on a AFV. This figure is painted for a good friend Dinesh to stand on his beautifully painted T34 Winter scheme.... hopefully this figure justify to stand on it
Welcome all critics.
Allan

Hi Allan , Very nice job on this figure, he looks very cold. I also like the fact that you gave the company and number as a reference for anyone interested in getting one...Vince

Yeah, this looks brilliant! I really like what you've done with the folds on the lower part of the coat.
Painting in general scares me, and painting figures most of all. I just look at those tiny heads and I think "How can I ever paint that? How do the experts do it?!?" This is definitely the quality I'm shooting for. Well done.

Hi Allan,
That's a beautifully painted figure. The T-34 looks pretty good too. Any chance of a photo of the whole thing?
