I can't keep my eyes of that pilot! I like this undercoat approach with warm shades. Can't go wrong. Cheers Guy 👍 , he is rather a good casting. And oh, it can!!! 😄

Cheers Paul, it is a little darker in reality. I’m finding it hard to get a true colour photo representation from phone camera. Happy with it tho.
Obviously I’ll have to redo the life preserver 🤗

It looks like a great base to work from fella The shadows etc will darken it nicely... says the man that hasn’t painted a figure for years

Cheers Steve 👍 I’ll be going over it with oils eventually after I’ve gone as far as I can with acrylics.

Cheers fellas 👍 Guy, have to admit it’s more grey than blue. 🤗

Cheers fellas 👍 Guy, have to admit it’s more grey than blue. 🤗 Greyish blue is better than blueish grey imo.

Stripped paint off with ipa and started again as not happy. All spraying done now, brushwork next to do belts and straps etc and then oils 😀

That happens to me way too often John . Looks good now though, the colour of the Mae West life jacket looks spot on already
