Seaforth Highlander, Peshewar, 1931 Art Girona 54mm

Taking another run at a figure.



Here is what I have so far.





I have tried for a tanned/sunburnt color on the skin, as this unit was in Palestine before going to Peshewar for operations against Afridi tribes in the 'Red Shirt' episode. A medium orange, a green-tinted buff , raw umber, and white were the basic palette, with small amounts of ultra-marine blue and black as well.

I intend to move on to the the uniform and gear next. I like to think have managed some improvement in doing a face. Advice for improvement is always welcome, and appreciated.

I had one bit of adventure with this. I don't spray much, and step out onto the porch when I do. I had the head attached before priming, and I managed to drop the figure on the porch. The head came off and scooted into a crack between the porch decking and the rear wall. A rather bad moment. I was able to spot it with a flash-light, and retrieve it with a long tweezers, fortunately....
