Did some DIY at the weekend so not much time for the hobby except for some basing, but here's a pic of my entry to the current Steve Dean Painting Competition. He's just been knocked out in round three. I had hoped he would get to the quarter finals but hey, thats life! Was a great figure to paint and I really enjoyed it, especially the signal patch, didn't think my hand would hold steady but it did! Field grey is difficult to make look interesting. I painted his field blouse as an earlier war version (M1940), with a greener hue than the later tunics. I think it made a nice contrast with the rest of the uniform.

I was very happy with the results I got from the German Vallejo colours. Took a fair while to finish him off. Will just have to keep plugging away at the comp though ;-)
I don't take it that seriously but it helps set goals like finishing a mini or two on time. But of course time is the problem most of the time (if you know what I mean!)
