Cap gets a costume, finally.

I have been looking back at some of my earlier sculpting efforts and have decided that some of them are worthy of a paint job. Captain America has always been one of my favourite heroes, probably because of the WW2 connection.




Nice primary colouring on Cap. Have used the three stage paint method with each colour in a dark medium and light shade. All stars, stripes and emblems are painted freehand (carefully). Finally finished with a green stuff base sculpt as pavement.

Victrix Test

I've not posted for a while. No excuses, I've been off pursuing other hobbies and interests. Santa was kind and I received my Sharpe Blu-Ray box set this year and the Napoleonic itch requires scratching once more. I have bought some Victrix hard plastic figures and here is a test of a group of four Peninsular French.

Lovely figures and a joy to paint and glue.

Bases are card with sand and coffee grounds glued painted and flocked.
