Thanks guys

I appreciate the comments, ;)

John, the lines are raised on the hat, which makes it easier, and you can cut in the shadow on the bits you over paint :oops: :lol:

Shawn, the enlargement is from the smaller image using photo bucket editing, but I do need to try harder with th camera even if it is to get a better base image to enlarge from ;)

Thanks Raoul, you figures are there too, and the 251's are cooking on gas 8-)

Now as my mentor said,

"You need to do it again and again!"

So more to come, 3 heads for the Pz III A GB, ;)

The oil paint on my horse drawn wagon has dried 8-)

12 figures being scribed for the 2, 4, 6, 8 GB

and the Mr Surfacer has arrived from Hong Kong for the Stug III trail too.

The fridge freezer blew up in the night so I have that to replace today too,

so no pressure on my time at all :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Shawn

Thanks, the wet palette is now consigned to the garage, pots are the way forward, once you have a good colour mix ;)

I wanted a lighter base for the figures in the GB, but it really still doesn't look right yet, still too light :evil:

Head painting is still a "mood" based skill, and I don't seem to be back in the same "mood" :(

I know it is system based, but if you aren't feeling "creative" it just doesn't come together and look right :roll:

But with 2 horses, 12 figures and a wagon to ""fade to gray"", they will be calling me Steve Strange next :lol:

There is always something to do, whilst waiting for the head painting "mojo" to return ;)

I can fully empathise with your recent comment about having done other figures after your Sd.Kfz 7, and they weren't as good ;)

I am sat in that space :roll: :lol:

I even scribe figures at work in my lunch break :roll: , I have limited myself to 2 chapters of "Charley's War"
as there are only 10 books and I am 1/2 way through already :roll:

One day it will be a natural skill and achievable at any time, but "today is not that day, neither is tomorrow"

Now I am channeling G'Kar :lol: :lol:

Looking forward to your next episode on the SBS, Shawn ;)

When the mood is right though 8-)
