Getting back into painting last year I painted this 54mm figure from SK Miniatures.
A decent sculpt it did have some issues but the detail is fine resulting i. A bit of flash.
Based to place him on the outskirts of Ranville, with a homemade signpost

Wow, very nice work Rob. I like how you painted the face, very lifelike.
I don’t know if it is the photo setup and light conditions, but some parts of the Denison smock look a bit glossy.
Well done,
Mario

Excellent job Rob! Everything looks great. The only thing I see is maybe there’s a shine to the uniform you could hit with some dull cote.

Yes…it’s a bit of both lighting and a slight sheen I ended up with being accentuated. In the hand it’s not really visible, but a direct light really makes the sheen stand out.
Will eventually give it a Matt coat when I feel brave enough…
Slightly terrified of Matt coats but you’re right about the sheen….
Love the base too Rob ! Really great job bro

@robh what did you use to paint the uniform? I think one uniform that doesn’t get any love for a paint set is the British para uniform.

You’re in luck. I took lots of in progress photos, and actually remembered to photograph the bottles I used for the camo! (Keep meaning to do this on other projects but forgot….)
Base colour - can’t tell you exact proportions, but mostly ochre and middlestone with English uniform added as it’s the same as the trousers
Green - mostly reflective green
Brown. - not much orange…!

@Klaus-Adler thanks! If you’re in Scotland you’ll love my current project …52nd Lowland Division….
I agree David. Nothing better than the Paras - except maybe a tank !
Great work on this Rob- I think you have done a great job here, particularly the skin tones and the nicely picked out equipment.
Sorry Dave , what’s a boot neck ?
