Billy Bob, from Kentucky, is Ready for Duty, with a Smile, or smirk!
Billy was handled in the same manner as Hank and Freddie. Close attention was paid to the palette tones this time around to get as close as possible to his mate, Freddie. Like I mentioned before, redressing color tones on the palette can be a pain, but I recon we’re mighty dang close on this run. After all, they are standing next to each other in this scenario, they need to be looking like they got their uniforms at the same time.
The format for painting Billy was simple enough, just do it again, for the third time, lol. The one gripe I have is the right hand, it’s rather kinda “Bozo” in appearance, but oh well, Ruck On. There really isn’t much I could do about it short of a re-sculpt and I have not talent in that arena.
Here Is the trio front and center in a group photo. I am happy with the results so far.
Now it’s time to get into the splinter camo pattern of the SS and get to work on “Bob”. Ya, that’s right, a German Bob. Lol, I can hear it already, or again, like it hasn’t been brought up before,….. a German “Bob”? Ya gotta remember, this is a comical scenario which will be evident soon enough. I’m having fun on this trip.
Thanks for watchin. Cheers, Ski.

Mighty fine work!
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!"..

Geez the tonal differences even from the back are incredible.

That's what you call hyper observant, Johnny, excellent. It takes a long time to flow the paint in what might be considered natural light fall, but it doesn't always work naturally. It's a constant gardening effect, if ya know what I mean. Sometimes ya think ya got it just to find out ya missed the whole thing. But, it's all part of the fun
