Santa still has to work, even during the War

As soon as I saw this figure on D-Day Miniatures Facebook page, i knew i had to get one. So a quick email to Pawel and he was on its way

 

 

Face  and hands blocked in;

 

 

Face and hands finished, mostly and beard blocked in with black

 

 

 

After several different greys and whites the beard was completed and next was the first red layer on his coat

But this looked a bit bright, even after adding Tamiya flat base to Tamiya's flat red so;

 

A second layer was painted last night, using Vallejo Scarlet (plus tamiya flat base) and i am happier with this colour. But like a numpty i have painted over the trim which should be white (darker Red areas !) so that needs sorting next.

Fur painted in, White over light grey. Toy sack has been blocked in along with his trousers and boots.

Santa, has been suited and booted. Helmet added and Suit re-painted with a subtle crimson shade. Then weathered to add a bit of life into it, along with the 'toy sack' Just to build a little base for him to go onto;

Very nice.

I would argue that this is "Father Christmas" rather than the more Americanized "Santa Clause", but I am a cantankerous old sod.

Surely that should be "Insanity Clause"?
