    Hello Planeteers

    This one was started ages ago, been in and out of the closet many times. The reason why it took me so long was the difficulties of finding the right skin tone and at the same time start up using acrylics.
    Well all painted in acrylics, figure comes without the mustage and that is added using Milliput.
    Great bust that was fun to paint after all.

    I painted this a couple of years ago and agree Brian it is a very nice bust-that is a cracking result with the Acrylics especially as you have just adopted the medium.

    Thank you very much Claude happy you like it. I have started over and over again 7- 8 times before I was content with it. Have done a few by now in acrylics that help me finish him.

    Thank you very much Bob. I used Vallejo gold and some brown glaze as a mix. After that a mix of brown and black of the washes they make. The wash enhance the letter on the buttons :)

    Thank you very much Mark
    I have just made a little search on Google and found only links to painted examples and some "model history sites".
    I think you have to place a "wanting to buy" in "Market & Commissions"
    I hope you will find it, I will keep an eye out and let you know if it shows up ;-)
