Here we go again!

I’m still in figure mode and need to fulfill my urge to paint.

Finished up the Duke tonight and feeling a little empty. Tony Lee wants to see Clint Eastwood, so this one’s for Tony.

This one will be a little more of a challenge as there are some scene accessories to assemble and paint.

The box

The parts. There’s gonna be a lot of clean up and seam filling needed on this one.

And lastly, the white metal base from the kit and a wooden base I had laying around in the stash.

Small update, Got the wheel barrow cleaned up and assembled. It was a real pain to hold everything in position and get glued together. It’s a good thing this update is not a video as most of it would have been bleeped out! ;D

Anyway, I finally got it together and filled any seams that needed attention. It’s in the basement as I type with a coat of primer drying.

Went together well John ,that wood grain should come out well ;)

Chris.
 
No, not yet. There was a lot of clean up needed on this one, I still have to clean up the head and hat yet.

This one is a bigger challenge as I need to paint some areas, then attach the arms and do a little seam filling. I painted the gun belt last night with oils, so I need to let that dry a few days before I can start trimming around the belt with other colors, (Black). :P

The wife informed me that Santa Clause could use some financial assistance. So I have been working over time. Just plain to tired and lack a steady hand when I get home from work. :-\

Look for an update this week end! ;D

Thanks for looking!
 
Hi John,


smashing subject, looking forward to your next update ;D






shane.
 
Ok, here is a small update. Not much progress to show, but at least its something.

For the figure, I started from the center and am working my way out. I need to paint some hard to reach areas before I attach the arms and left leg.

The ground work and wheel barrow have a coat of primer on them. Hopefully and can air brush some base colors on them today.

I figured I’ll do a step by step on the base.

Wheel Barrow was air brushed with a base color of Humbrol Matt 110

The base and pile of dirt in the wheel barrow was air brushed with Humbrol Matt 94

I picked out some stone out croppings with Humbrol Matt 64

Let this dry a few days, and then give it a clear varnish in preparation for some oil washes.

That base is looking good John ......Is he done yet ;D ;)

Chris.
 
Not very much time lately to get any work done, but I did manage to get the wash on.

The wash was a mixture of Humbrol Matt black, W&N raw Umber, and thinned with W&N turpentine.

Even just the wash has really popped the base out ! ...Looks good John ;)

Chris.
 
The Base and wheel barrow was dry brushed and highlighted with their respective base colors.

The dirt portion of the base didn’t turn out quite like I had in mind, but a final dusting of pigments should take care of that.

It also looks like I may have to let the paint dry a bit, then dry brush a final highlight.

Below you can also see the figure test fitted to the base.

Thanks for looking and Merry Christmas to you and yours!
