So I am NOT the only one who saw the similarity! And here I thought I was seeing things! lol

Great work!

I never realised Pudsey Bear was an offensive weapon, though lol

Great paintwork!

But the newscaster and Joe Minor (like it!) are both EM4 - I just think Joe's pose make's him look especially small! :)

Thanks for all the comments!!

Post by: Pil on June 21, 2008, 09:52:28 PM: I think the ex PM is indeed a rather small and frail model (which fits him well), but in addition, the TV reporter is taller than most Copplestone models (and even on a thicker base in this case), making him look even smaller. Nice paintjob BTW, I love the uptight look on the reporter (I'm not sure though if it was intentional ;)).

(I also have to tell you. that being 'uti' here on Funen in our local dialect means being 'wicked', 'out of line', something like that ;) )

Foundry Base Sand Shade with progressive white added

or

Vallejo Brown Sand, Iraqui Sand & Pale Sand highlight.

The origins of uti-long-smile stem from an old D&D game a friend ran, where the party thought we were playing cavemen only to discover that we were actually Gnolls. Ahhh halycon days!! :)
