brodiebear Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Started on this at the weekend, funnily enough a new mini drill kit i had ordered from amazon also arrived so put it into use, it does create rather a lot of resin dust, so a mask is required when cuting and sanding bit, however it's pretty amazing at doing what it does and for such a great price and its cordless (£22.99) you can get one from here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08B61KR15/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have already done a review of the kit over here - https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/mmm-200mm-scale-sas-nairobi-dusitd2-terrorist-attack.312055/ Upper and lower torso joined and gap filled with some milliput. Sanded smooth. small resin gates ahve now also been removed; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Boots attached and pegged to a block of wood for painting, not sure about the position of his right foot though, may need to break it off somehow and re attach ( at the end); Head is just dry fitted, after removing the pour stub under neath his head. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Right Boot has been reattached into a better position - Main Bits tacked on; when i took the photo I spotted this minor seam line on his hand, nothing to worry about; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 He bears an uncanny resemblance to Kier Starmer. Correction to your review, the Sight is an Aimpoint T1, not an ACOG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Highlights, shadows and glazes added, matt varnish applied; Not much flesh to play with to get all the normal tones added. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 Balaclava done, so head finished; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 All the main colours blocked in, redone the balaclava , was to grey and not as brown as it should be. Sometimes the web can be a curse for reference images. different cameras give off slightly different hues, colours. Matching the rifle has been a nightmare and still not totally convinced on the colour, however it may come out okay once weathered a bit and had a matt varnish on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodiebear Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Needed to start on the Camouflage, so tried it out on the rucksack / backpack first, happy with the results, shadows added by inks and highlighted with pigments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodiebear Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Camouflage painted onto the front vest and ballistic plate, side straps also painted, so will be able to glue the arms in place , once i get the pens for the waffle stripes on the rifle, oh and painted in the time on his Garmin watch. SHirt has had subtle shadows added; 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodiebear Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 After some debate on a couple of SAS facebook pages, it seems i had totally the wrong colour for his footwear, so following ref images they have been redone as a pair of La Sportiva, and thats how they are staying 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodiebear Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Nearly there now; Base needs edging and a plinth ordering to take it, along with a SAS Badge and a Gallantry Medal.

Konrad Popławski Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Nice work. You really pay attention to details. To get on higher level You need to use more variety of shades - not only mid tones (shadows, lights) this will add more life. I know its not easy and very time consuming but i belive its worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
