Re: Point Du Hoc
Finalizing the Figures
Capt. Walt, SSgt. Bruce, and Cpl. Luke are just about ready to be mounted on the cliff. The figures have been completed minus some touch-ups on the brass and anything else that I might have missed. This has been a fun set to work with from start to finish. These figures are really well sculpted and that always makes for a fun build.
I’m really getting a kick out of Cpl. Luke’s facial expression, he’s looking a bit nervous, HA! Don’t worry, Luke, Sarge won’t let ya down, he’s always got your back!
The cliff section is in the painting process right now and will be mounted on a nice wood base stained and lacquered. We are almost done with this fine vignette.
Final pics will be posted soon and thanks for following along, it’s been a fun build.
Cheers, Ski.

Looking good!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Point Du Hoc
They look really good Ski! Not too much farther to go now.

Re: Point Du Hoc
Not to take anything away of your awesome painting skills but the expressions and poses remind me of some of the comic books I read as a kid - kinda like Sgt Rock. More about the sculptor than your skills - and sooooo very cool.
Thanks,

Re: Point Du Hoc
Good morning, Gents, thanks for the kind words.
I would have to agree with that assessment, the expressions are pretty dramatic, lol. Sometimes an overly expressive face can actually cause me trouble and I can usually wrangle them into submission, but not always.

Re: Point Du Hoc
RM1602, US Rangers, Point Du Hoc, vignette from Reedees Miniatures in 1/16th scale. These resin figures and base were created and sculpted by Steve Reedees. This set can be found at: https://sites.google.com/site/reedeesmi ... /116-120mm
All three resin figures were painted in oils over an acrylic base. The sculpting is superb in detail and required minimal clean-up. This set was another, among many from Reedee’s Miniatures, that was just a lot of fun to paint.
Cheers, Ski.

Re: Point Du Hoc
A great finish on this one Ski! Your paint work really brings out the intensity of the moment with these figures.
