And calling these two done.
Made little ballast bases for them so they dont fall over & break.
Brass rods into their boots so each can be removed but they pin snuggly on their respective bases.
Bits of broken ceramic pot stand feet, garden gravel set on acrylic jointing compound.
Airbrushed with Iraqi Sand that I brewed up ages ago to paint the T72 - Lion Of Babylon.

Pigment dusted & set with pigment fixer, then some of the masonry debris drybrushed to highlight a bit.

Still have 3 more to do, but Im over figure painting for now.

Your figures are well done, Bix. I will be glad to see the other, too. This is no criticism at all. However, your figures do remind me of the now middle-aged professor whom my department at the university hired 14 years ago. She is a quiet Texas Ph.D., came from Syria, wears Hijab and cowboy boots. :thumbup: She brought here mother to the U.S., too, trying to get her away from the violence. I am fascinated by tanks and figures (etc.), but always reminded of others' suffering.
