Hi Guys,I have finally finished painting Phil Waldens sculpt of a Australian Bren gunner/Pacific WW 2.The figure is a 120mm resin casting released through Ozmods scale models.I painted the figure in Vallejo and Maimeri acrylics.The metal parts I painted with printers inks.The ground work was made by using high density styrene caved to shape and of which I applied a coat of Perma fill mixed with PVA glue and brown acrylic paint.I then painted several different shades of brown and green to the muddy ground which was shaded and highlighted.The plants I used were small natural mosses and ferns that were painted in acrylics.I also used some photo etched plants and a small piece of drift wood .When all the ground work was finished I gave it a coat of Winsor and Newton matt acrylic varnish which is not really matt, but gives a nice egg shell finish which simulated the damp humid look.Hope you like him.I can certainly recommend the kit.I have tried to attach the link to Ozmods Scale Models but for some reason is showing an error.I know you can also get the kit through Redlancers.
regards,John
