The eyes have it.

Apart from a little matte varnish, and a touch of gloss here and there.
I think the head is pretty much done.

1/10 SS Panzer Commander Camo base

Added the base colours to the jacket.
These will aid the blends I'll be adding over the top.

1/10 SS Panzer Commander cleaned up and basecoated

A bit more progress on the bust.

Had to re-do the back of the hat, the area had been destroyed by a casting lug.
I used Kneadatite to expand the join to the head, edging cord, and make the shape.
Then I blended the shape in with MMD Green Putty, this creates a skin and hardens the surface of the Kneadatite for whatever reason. It makes it easier to sand smooth.

The edge of one of the epaulettes had a mising piece, so I replaced that with Plasticard.
Photobucket

I started on the face by painting a deep red in to all of the areas that blood pools.
The paint is still wet here, not gloss.

Here's the head after a couple of layers, I'm changing the jacket colour to make it Autumn Oakleaf with a reversible winter side.

1/10 SS Panzer Commander Primed

Test primer to see areas that need touching up, I'm going to have to do some work on the back of the cap. It had a big lug on the back that will require attention.

Overall and nicely cast bust and worth spending a bit of time over.

I think I've found the right colour piping for the shoulder boards.

Been working on my Mayan wall.

Photobucket
Some parts marked out for cutting.

Photobucket
The end result..

Photobucket
Don't know why Masons make such a big deal about this :)

Photobucket
All the parts glued together.

Photobucket
Its then soaked in watered down PVA to stiffen up the section.

Adding in the water channel and the kerb.

The Melusine on the base to check height, another third of the back wall to go.
You can see the abortive "tiles" in the foreground, I've gone with more foam in the end.
Photobucket

The lower wall and pavement section with texture, and a backup paving infill behind the kerb.

The smaller paving sections added and a couple of closeups.
