As I said when I finished this build back in October, I was holding off on photos until I had a TC figure for this painted up. Well, I had to sideline that portion due to the AMPS 1/72 GB, and then a last minute decision to do the 12 Days of Christmas Challenge build over on FSM. So in the meantime, I selected and primed up a Peddinghaus figure and last week on my days off I painted him up. Today after work I took some photos of the completed Leo on its base. It was a rainy day out, so the lighting is natural thru two windows. I may do some more in a few days when the weather clears up and the sun comes back out...
Thanks for looking, comments and critiques welcome...

Great job Stick really like how you made the base and how it all ties in together and nothing looks out of place.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Very good, like the "weathering" on the figures clothes, makes it very very realistic!

Well done, Stik. This build screamed for better pics. You've done it justice now.
A few days ago the Tank Museum of Bovington released a video about our sweet little cat. Compact and informative, I think.

Thanks guys! I’m glad that you like the better new photos
You gotta love the Leo! Such a good looking cat! Thanks for the link Kari!
That was my intent- I’m happy that it looks that way to way to your eye.Floki wrote:Great job Stick really like how you made the base and how it all ties in together and nothing looks out of place.
Oils. I mixed up some blends to wash over the acrylic uniform base colors, then once they had dried, used a thinner moistened brush to remove most. The skin areas were treated similarly with Burnt Umber and Burnt Sienna oils, then some dry brushed highlights with acrylic flesh tones.speedgraflex wrote:Incredible work, Carlos!
