Jasper dog Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Working on a little chap to populate the commanders hatch, love figures with afvs but so tricky..... Anyway meet the headless commander, still more to do but: Base coat on the arms, but more work to do. The legs/trousers won't be seen so just a base coat of black applied. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper dog Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Bit more... BTW, Alpine figure painted with mostly Vallejo paints on a black base Still a bit of dry brushing on the cap to do yet and then join the head to the body... Merry Christmas all, enjoy and stay out of harms way. Bottoms up! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a great day with the family, if you find yourself sharing the dogs bed perhaps time for a brew? Just the one Tiger related item, so far 🤞, I know there's more somewhere just hoping they haven't been put away for a birthday in Feb!

I actually rather enjoyed it in a masochistic sort of way.... The close up photos are rather more revealing than the mk1 eyeball, must do a little wash to define the fingers.

diablo rsv Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Just been catching up with this build Darryl, I keep forgetting about this area of the forum. Your Panther looks great! The paint and effects, the weathering and details are all very nicely done. Looking forward to seeing the end result and it looks as though that might not be far away.

gmoss Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Looking really good Darryl. I'm yet to venture into figure painting, but I'd be pretty happy if I could achieve results like yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm yet to venture into figure painting, but I'd be pretty happy if I could achieve results like yours. Thanks, just wish I could figure out how it happened so I could do it again! The shirt was the easy bit it, it's the face that I struggle with, I just kept playing around with it until it looked something like. I got lots of advice from some of the other chaps on the site, watched various videos and read articles as my earlier attempts had been awful and somehow produced the little chap you see above. By no means great but at least acceptable to me. Give it a go, when it works its surprisingly satisfying! Good quality figures are easier than cheaper plastic ones, the features are better defined making them easier to paint. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Wasn't sure if I want to call this yet or not but... "Well boss, I'm sure this is where we left it... it was only 4 fish suppers and a bratwurst and chips honest..." I'll try and get some decent pics of the Panther alone done to add to this... Sun popped out earlier today so couldn't let it go to waste! Cheers Darryl 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
