Looking very good, Krow113.  Your detailing is way beyond what I would even think about!

Your detailing is way beyond what I would even think about!

Some remarkable detailing, for sure, displaying extraordinary painting skill.

I've been trying to overlook the giant head, but am unsuccessful so far.

p90 , Gene Thank you .
 
 No update as this is my busiest time of year. Very little to go anyway I'll prolly dash it all off in a day or so....

 The appearance of a 'giant head' is due to the photography , the final pics will show this is not so.
Stay tuned...

RIII Thank you.
 
 Working on it.
 A pinstripe mix of the rot made up to ensure flow down the modified , procured in Stratford-on-Avon , sable liner proves worthy . Painstasking but a hugely required detail.
The uniform red piping:


 I did the red dots on the cap as well. I noticed the 'dots' are a little too big , looking at photos of the cap. In hindsite I would prolly buck those off and use some p/e . Here are the buttons in final colors and the stupid red dots :

 I flooded them with rot tryna get the dot painted. The ref pics show the red as a back elevation with the chrome outer ring prominant . I'll fix this mess up after the red dries.
The buttons look ok though...
 The base gets its final details as well:

Piping , buttons, and even the red dots, looking great!Almost there!!

Thanks Richard!
 Yours looks fine too, maybe just go over him a little.
I make no claims as any kind of figure painter other than a being real optimistic.

 Pounding on the B. von , detail knock down ongoing , he a fancy boy:


 I'll be late tonight finishing , just very busy with the tourist trade here.

[RAGIII]

Almost there now! The buttons look great. The  Blue Max Medal( Something I was not able to get right), is also coming along well. Keep Pounding!

  Thanks for looking in.
 Pants buttons , one side ata time using a pva/water/black/green ink mix to secure , so waiting in between is built in:
And for most intents and purpose' he is done. A slight backwards lean is being corrected as the glue dries. Final pics in a few hours:

 Thanks for the continued support through viewing my work. I make no claims as to being anything other than a dabbler when it comes to figure work , there are imperfections on this fig that I cant fix , as hard as I try!
 For Adrienne and Des a fitting tribute with the work done here on the Group Build . Thank you.

[RAGIII]

Lovely results! Your added details and corrections have turned MvR into a figure to be proud of! I am sure Des would have Loved this figure!
