Hi Tim,

Thank you for the positive feedback, it's much appreciated, .

Not sure why modelling a figure taking a leak would be considered offensive, but then there's nowt so queer as folk, ...but thanks for the heads-up. Least now I know that I might get some grief if I decide to flow down that particular stream, forewarned is foreskinned, .

Thanks for the suggestion re. the scorched grass, that thought had crossed my mind but I decided against it as, in my eyes, I've sort of modelled the damage as if its been like it for some period of time. So, in all likelihood any burnt grass would have been grown over...least that's how I imagined it would be, .

This is only my second build that has come anywhere near completion and is really an attempt at practising techniques and trying to develop a 'style'. More of an experiment as opposed to having an end goal, however, that said, I have always thought that I would show the crew in more of a relaxed state...hence my thoughts on a brew, .

Thanks again for taking the time to give support and advice, .

Cheers, ,

Hi Brian,

Always means a lot to get positive feedback from you, thank you, .

And you know what I'm going to say next, ...stop hiding your talent away, you're always so supportive of others, it's about time you let others see how good your work is, and get some deserved praise, .

As for a bollocked micturater, I decided this time not to, but I might in the next one as it's likely going to be a snowy scene...maybe he'll write his name, .

Thanks again, and cheers, ,

Hi Erwin,

Thanks for your continued feedback and support, and glad you think it looks more interesting, .

As for what I'm trying to depict, well...as mentioned above to Tim...I have no hard-and-fast goal as to the end result. That said, now both you and Tim have asked, its made me think that I do need to give some thought as to what I do with the crew, .

To be honest, I've sort of been avoiding that as I'm not great at modelling and painting figures, .

Cheers, ,

@Erwin, that a real nice face first time or not.

Here are some simple how to’s I like G.

What I have found useful is using a wet palette and mixing a little water with Vallejo paints to make things easier.

Than you for the kind words.
I found that using a wet pallette indeed aids very much to the mixing and painting. Thank you for reminding...

Hi Ryan,

Again my apologies for not responding sooner. It's good to see you back, you'd been a tad quiet...how goes your multitude of builds?

Thanks for the YouTube links, I think they will be very useful, .

As for putting me in 'hock', so far your recommendations have been very well received, though sneaking any purchases past swmbi (she who must be ignored) is getting harder since the COVID 19 lockdown...she's always around when the postie comes a calling, . As an aside, thanks to any posties that might use this site, and thanks to posties worldwide for continuing to deliver any goodies we purchase from online retailers...and thanks to those retailers too, .

Cheers, ,
