Able seamen order complete

Finished this order during the weekend, I'll need to get hold of a new can of matt varnish as this one is acting funny. As you can see it did a poor job giving a matt coat over the models, they actually ended up more shiny after the matt varnish than before... sigh....

I liked the sailors, the big officer guy I have mixed feelings about. He does have a imposing persona about him, I painted him in a way to make his head look shaved and gave him a facial scar and dead eye.

On the other hand that hook of his is way to big for the model. Adviced the customer to give the models a second coat of matt varnish if he could. From what I know there should be a store selling Testors Dullcote up in Stockholm though I don't know if it is the brush on or spray can version of it.


The bases are custom made by the customer and cast in resin. They came painted as I suspect they want every base in their collection to look uniform.
