Peco Figures - Improving them

The RN figures have come out very well, are a vast improvement on the originals and look the part.
Whilst the seated figures are also a vast improvement on the originals there is something about the darker blue figures, if you don't mind me saying, that isn't quite right.
I can't put my finger on it and it may just be my personal perspective but I think that the black wash is too prominent.
As they are going to be behind the glazing in your DMU's it probably doesn't matter though.
Nice job.

I don't mind your comments at all, its what makes this forum great - that we can make genuinely honest comments to each other. I have had taken another look and I think you do have a point. I suspect the light dry brush on the blue figures is too light, creating a greater contrast than is required. They probably need a deeper blue dry brushing, with maybe a hint of lighter highlight - will give it a go and see if this improves the effect :)

Really good painting of very small figures, My favorite's are the navel set, but the others will look good in one of your Dmu's

I have to admit, even with your skills, there are some pretty ugly looking characters there - you can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear !!
The naval ones in particular, have jumped to life from rather dull looking "suggestions" of military personnel. Something there to be really proud of. :thumbs
The description is also clear and easy to follow. I doubt if we could produce something like that - even with the instructions !!!

Nice job though. First lesson I learned on joining my last club was never to admit to knowing anything about wargaming as all the little packets of figures suddenly end up in your pocket for painting
