Royal Navy Command Stand

 Here's the (almost!) finished command stand for my upcoming naval landing scenario, and first part of the entry in the 'La Bricole Summer Painting Challenge'

The party have just waded ashore, Douglas MacArthur-style, from the whale-boat. While the officer strides purposefully ahead, the sailor and marine keep a weather eye out for those scurvy Frenchies!

I still need to varnish and shade the figures, but besides that, they're done.

For those playing at home, I used Reeves Gloss Gel Medium for the water effect, coloured with Tamiya Sky-blue highlighted with Tamiya  Flat Blue

  2. The finished modeled scene is wonderful, Sir. The sea water lapping gently up on to the sandy beach is a winning move!
