Here is an old Series 77 figure that I started many years ago. I recently dusted it off and finished it. The work was completed with acrylic, oil and enamel paints. I plan to seal the figure in about a month when I feel all paint is thoroughly dry.



After attaching the image I can see the eyes need a bit more fine tuning.



The arms and head were attached with 5 minute epoxy. The right shirt leg needs to be touched up a bit, as I noted bare metal flakes showing though..





The rope is actually heavy duty thread from my wife's sewing kit.





The base is oak that I purchased from a small crafts shop near Traverse City many years ago. The ground cover is a combination of gutter gravel, lichen and model railroad turf.

I have several more figures in this series that I plan to finish in the near future: This is Richard Pielen, and he was too much fun not to add some additional figures to my collection. That would be finished figures.

One trick I glommed on to while painting a Phonix Phollies figure you may (or may not) on denim, a light drybrushing with a light grey will fade the denim. I did it on the punk rock girl, and on the old series 77 navy crewman (long long gone by the boards. ZKeep up the good work!

Jim, I drybrushed the jeans with Model Master light blue, but will try the grey in the future.

Thanks for the tip.

Would you mind if we used a couple of these pictures on the Series 77 web site?
