Disaster strikes !!
A thin application of Tamiya primer did something to the rifle strap and one end fell off,..so that has now to be rectified.,easy enough though
but
This morning I picked the man up and promptly dropped in on the wood floor,..picked him up only to find is left boot and gone whizzing off somewhere
Half hour on hands and knees and nothing !!
Andrew is not a happy bunny !

Andrew is now a very happy bunny
Having found the previously mentioned boot in an obscure corner of the room about 3 millions miles away from where the man was dropped
Out with the supaglue

Update
A simple task,...yeah right,..a considerable pain in the arse was to replace the broken lapel with green stuff ( I did try aves epoxy sculpt but sadly didnt work ) and the left collar that broke off when I got the bloke out of the box and did some initial clean up
Pic is super close up and it looks bad but will be cleaned up in due course
This one is further away and looks better

Impulse Impulse !!!! hmy:
Ok I was looking at the face and I had to slap a basecoat on it to have a look see
I am very impressed with my phone camera as I can take really good close ups ( for me anyway )they are not that clear but will give you an impression,.....
Heres bloke with basecoat of Vallejo flesh base + red leather and shadows were acheived by adding shadows flesh

I tried that as well mate it wouldnt stay put and I had to wrap it under the coat label that was still there
The green stuff I had to blend in to the coat and eventually got it nearly right,...
a good paint job will hide all the mess

Ok heres a quick update and picture of the greatcoat basecoat
Panzer grey 70995 + Highlight German 1 338 ( fieldgrau) ratio of 1:2 plus a dash of English Uniform 70921
Personally think its a great base to start the high and low lighting plus mixing in different colours to add depth and interest
heres a little more artistic value :gogo
