This week, despite various forms of domestic chaos, I managed to get another of my Reaper Chronoscope steampunk figures done. This one goes by the name of Dr Charles Bennet, billed by Reaper as a Steampunk Hero.
I wasn’t entirely sure how to base him but decided to give my recently acquired Green Stuff World UV acrylic water effect a go. The result looks better in the flesh than in the photos and overall I was pleased with how the stuff worked. Using the UV torch the acrylic set in under a minute! A small piece of a plastic straw was used for the water pipe.
The figure itself was a straight forward paint job but looking at the photos the stubble I added to his face appears much darker. Not sure I am happy with that so will take a closer look at the figure again and if necessary tone it down a little.
Photo’s below.

Great use of colours, great composition, really like the way the flowing water subtlety adds to the sense of movement in the scene – great stuff all round really.

Looking good. The 5 o’clock shadow seems pretty dark though… possibly it could have been a touch lighter shade?

In complete agreement. It is lighter in the flesh but still too dark for my liking. It was the photos that highlighted it as soon as I looked at them for posting. Simply remedied but needs to be done or it will continue to bug me!
