Frank kindly sent me a 1/25 figure of a GI, I pondered what to do with him and then I thought the pose looked so good that I would try a brassing technique and mount him as a monument on a plinth. The plinth is small real bricks with real slate tops, the figure has been painted in a brass paint once dry it has had a verdigris of acrylic, once dry it was then sealed and then a oil wash added.

Cheers guys it worked really well, better than I hoped for. After the wash was added I buffed back in places-really pleased with the results.

Just to add that this technique worked so well I am going to use the same effect on a small Fletcher class, may even attempt some sea also.
