More work to painting

 Greetings

I have done some more work to the painting.

I have tightened up the daffodils and heightened the colour of the Purple Emperor and Peacock butterflies.

I have also done more work to the fore ground and middle ground grass and leaves.

It now looks like this:

I think it might be finished, but ( as usual ) I will live with it for a bit just to make sure.

Until next time

I have done some more work to my current painting.

It now looks like this:

There are still a few things that I want to sharpen up, so I will be carrying on...

Mercenary

 Greetings

Many years ago I used to make the 54 mm Airfix models, mostly of Napoleonic soldiers.

I adapted several of these ( including making a dismounted Scots Grey holding a beer mug).

I had also made a couple of  English Civil War models and , it seems I had acquired quite a few spare bits, including some bits that might be from a French Foreign legionary.

I used these to make this Science Fiction mercenary ( or possibly Strontium Dog ).

This was originally painted mostly black, with a few silver highlights and the long gun was slung across the back.

I recently decided to alter and repaint it.

I also added the gravel texture to the base.

Until next time
