This is one of the jolly good chaps from Copplestone Castings Back of Beyond Range. I posted the WIP a year ago, shortly after I started this blog. The model has been done this whole time, with a very simple paint job (note the varnish sheen). But I was at a loss about how best to proceed with the base after applying the initial wash layer.
Tonight, while tidying up my table after a painting session, I decided enough was enough: I need to finish this model. All told I only put another twenty minutes into the piece, and it would have been less if I hadn’t messed up the color for the soil the first time around. I’m pleased with the results, and need to add those Germans to the list, before my motivation fizzles.
On another note, this was my first experience with the product featured below. In retrospect, perhaps I should have used the one on the right, and drybrushed the tips with khaki color to suggest drying. Live and learn. Oh, love the grass; I have no idea why I waited this long to use it.
