Hi there!
Trying to catch up February with another post , I've finished yesterday this lovely(?) bear!
Dating back to the 60's, this little bear comes to me along with some other toy soldiers and I get the inspiration to paint ,from an older post of a friend blogger-gamer (I thing it was from Palouse Wargaming Journal ) who had a wild bear in his gaming set up!
The figure came with some wear on the body and a broken base but, with a little care and a sharp knife becomes ready to paint! For extra basing space I made a base extension using a round plastic cup.

DeleteI just found this blog after looking for info on painting ww2 Airfix German soldiers! I was drawn to this bear since it is so well done like your other material! You kind of show the steps here but in a future post could you give a step-by-step tutorial on your painting, shading, and washing order? The tutroials you have done with your bases is great and I was hoping you could do one with figures as well. Thanks and keep posting your projects!
