A salute with an umbrella - WIP
« on: 16 January 2012, 10:17:21 AM »
Started the Sci-Fi entry for Salute

Hasslefree model I am painting up to be an Umbrella operative from Resident Evil, I was originally going to paint the RCPD STARS logo of which I managed to do the STARS part, the 3 yellow stars in the middle but couldnt do the tiny Raccoon Police Dep around the 3 stars and I threw a tantrum on Saturday when i failed miserably

Work so far



picture isnt great but it was a quickie before bed last night.

Looking brilliant. I like the umbrella logo, it gives it a nice splash of colour.  :-* :-* :-*

Cheers guys,

Sorry lack of progress on this.....I recently had a play on Shogun 2, and having NEVER been beaten by a total war game I was a little concerned that I was getting rolled over and anally violated every game on legendary difficulty within 10 turns.  Once I get a bee in my bonnet about something I MUST find out a solution!  Suffice to say I have made it to turn 20 AND have a healthy looking empire with ninjas a plenty causing havoc.  For those interested the trick is to avoid samurai early on and focus on masses of peasants.

So I have cracked it and I can now return to painting this bald headed wonder.
