Finaly I find the time to finish it sooner than I expected :)
So, here it is my contribution to the Chamber Of Challenge contest. As it is my first year to this beautiful event I wanted to gift something that represents me well. All those who know me from my blog they know I'm a big Airfix fan, so my figure couldn't be something else :)
A classical pose of " British Commandos" 1:32 set and my favourite figure of it. And , as the bases of those figures are a bit poor, I based him on a driftwood so he can be well added to any collectors display.
Also this figure is my entry to the " Gallery of Ancestors" chamber. I believe most of us have in our family trees some ancestor who fought in that war, one or the other side.. My grandfather fought in the Greek-Italian front in Albania and then he was with the Greek resistance fighting along with the British troops in the mountains. It was common that time that many of the Partisans was equipped with British Army uniforms etc. So I believe that this uniform was well worn by the Greek Partisans.
Great paintjob with lovely skin tones -- I reckon I know this fellow from down the pub!

Thank you Ken! Really dynamic pose it is..:)
DeleteWonderfully painted figure and fascinating background lore. I'm sure your grandad had some harrowing stories from his youth.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt! Unfortunately he passed away when I was very young and I lost the experience of hearing them from him. :(
DeleteGood work and basing. I'd be tempted to smear on some facepaint.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barks! I'm happy if this inspired you somehow :)
DeleteGreat looking mini. The base suits it very well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stuart!
