Cool bucket Alan. You could half fill it with clear epoxy to resemble water.

This bucket was just an experiment, buckets for this era would I believe have been pretty rough looking items and that was what I was trying to achieve.... Think I got there in end... .. Thanks again for looking in... Regards Alan

Had a bit more fun and had a go at painting my very first figurine.... Found the scale very small and am sure I will get better with practice but feel happy with to have the first one done.... .. Have to think of a way of getting some of the facial features perfected but at this scale its not going to be easy....  .. Here's the pics, warts and all..... Happy building all.. Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Hi Alan nice work on the bling, as for figure painting your doing ok with practice as in all things they will get better I usaly find that the smaller the figure less is best or don't try to add to much detail. Hope this helps and dousnt hinder regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Loved the experience of it though..... Thanks again Regards Alan

Hi Alan, very nice work, the figure looks great - with 1/72 figures or smaller I generally don't attempt to paint any facial features, a flesh wash usually brings out enough detail to look good. Steve

Steve Thanks Stevie, some of the detail was fun to do but in reality I found you can hardly see it with the naked eye so yes, lesson learnt, keep it simple.... Thanks again Regards Alan
