Hello all,

Here's my completed entry to the Emergency Services build - ICM's 1/16 British Police Officer (or specifically a Met AFO). It's my first attempt at a figure, and it was interesting to try something that doesn't have tracks and a cannon for a change! There's a long way to go before it's on par with the tutorials (my paint selection was limited to a single skin tone unfortunately), but I don't think it's too shabby for a first go. Who knows, maybe I'll try more figures in the future.

That’s fantastic, especially for a first attempt. Skin tone in particular is excellent.

Lovely Model!
I do hope that our non-UK forum members don't think that this British WPC is representative of the police here. I have only seen armed police in high security/risk areas like airports, government buildings etc, and then only in the major cities. A lot do carry Tazers ( at least in Gloucestershire ) & a collapsible baton, but that's it.

Great job, especially for a first try. And nice and neat, too - no hiding place when you're painting black and white like that!

Thank you for the feedback all! One of the great things about the group builds is pushing me out of the comfort zone, so thank you Dave as well for putting this one on.
