Well, that is certainly a good start and an even better way of introducing yourself.

Thank you, you will have to forgive the gloss varnish on the figure for now as I am wanting to get a good sized batch ready before matt varnishing.
Good news is the gloss gets rid of any frosting from the super glue on the clear bases.

Ultravanillasmurf the background is the ground floor of the sarissa precision Chateau I happened to have nearby to camouflage the mess on my workbench.

To say I tried to paint him as James Bond he looks sinister!  lol

Another nice figure. Love the tie.

The Sarissa château is good. What are you using for furniture?

The furniture is from

just be warned they are hollow at the back, but to go up against walls they are fine (which I think most war gamers would do to make the most use of the space in rooms).
I have been contemplating basing my furniture on "rugs" just to help them stand better.
