Crazyredcoat's Crazy Compendium of Collected Creativity
“For all those people who are finding it difficult at the moment: the sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away."
As is typical, the moment I decide I have time for a project before a delivery, it arrives the next day. So, for now, we leave the Khanite lunatics aside and we dive into a new project; Captain Tom!
I got the whole sheband with the M3, too, but that will be a project for the future.Usually I do reference images and such like, but as this represents Captain Tom during the Burma Campaign, I have already covered the jungle uniforms of the British Army during that time. The goal here is do paint a model damn well as very much a display piece, primarily, but also my own sort of tribute to the man himself. With that in mind I will be spending lots of time making sure all mould lines are gone, and bending is straightened out and such like. The only thing I plan to do that may be a little ‘different’ is to paint the mug of tea white and try to freehand an NHS symbol onto it…but we’ll have to see how well I can manage that… I’m really glad that Warlord took the time to do something like this to help raise money as, personally, being so far from home even the tiny amount I can help feels good.
Just a couple of then and now pics of the man himself. If anyone HASN’T heard about him yet, look him up.
On another note, seeing as this just seems to be a tad more sentimental than most of my posts, I also got a parcel from the OTT team with a very kind thank you letter from the team included. It’s a kind gesture from the team…plus the sweets are very much appreciated! I might have to order more stuff just to get some good old British sweets…
