Well done, sir. The Hornet head really adds a lot of character to him and his posing is perfect. I gotta get myself another set of replacement heads actually...

Looking forward to the rest!

Do you know you are a great figure painter Sir!

Congratulations on that one Jerry!!!!

The Terrain in the Ardennes does not contain much iron, so the colour is not reddish.

Impatient to see more!!

Cheers

Lovely paint work on this fig Jerry- the red cross really adds a nice splash of color among the drab German uniform colors- you've got the look of him carrying the heavy satchel perfectly from his strained face to the bulges in the satchel itself which are nicely painted. Great work mate, I can't wait to see what you get up to for the rest of the figs in this scene!

Looking really good, Jer!

As always, I'm anxious to see how the completed work will come out.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop as you progress.

Great job on the figures so far Jerry. Looking forward to seeing how they contribute to the scene.

Jerry- that is some awesome dot pea pattern camo, a very fine example of how to do it. For some reason the pose and idea of movement in this figure is heightened by the painting- the painting just compliments the pose so well.

I have the same problem with getting the peas right- its a frustrating job- like trying to get the edges on the Oak Leaf pattern to look 'just right'- you get to the point where you have work on it tiny bit more and...its ruined !

I wonder if you could help me with something Jerry- I'm working on some franken figures at the minute cobbled together with body parts from different kits and I've been using a Mission Models micro-chisel to do the under-cutting for various details (seams, pockets etc)- is this what you use? I only ask because I've blunted it and can't get another head for it right away.

I use a Swann Morton so I'll see if I can get going with that, at the minute I'm just using the blade to get any plastic debris from the grooves I make. I also noticed the Dragon plastic- I am working on one of their new figs and one of their old ones- new one is nice and soft, old one is bulletproof and has made me slip and stab myself with the chisel several times!

Don't know how I didn't catch this update earlier. Love the Pea dot camo, perfect colors. I've found that the very tip of my xacto blades makes for a good way to apply that sort of camo... except for that it takes forever and ever. I wouldn't worry about it on him though, it really is impressive. I really like the facial expression on him too. Even though it's half wrapped up it still has just as much expression. And a good one too. I might try something like that on a figure, once Dragon re-releases their Medical Troops kit.

Very cool outcome on him, the skin tone gives him a chilly look. Is the bandage just made from putty? Look so lifelike. IMO the blood looks perfect...I had a bandage kinda like that once and it looks similar hahaha
