Well, actually my first bust experience was 40 years ago when I was 15 but that's a completely different subject.

Funny, I thought a bust would be a little easier because of the size but that was very wrong.
The plinth is a 7.62 X 54 spent shell casing fired from my personal 1930 dated Mosin Nagant.

Also a special thanks to Dave at Last Cavalry for the fast shipping and to DEL for the nameplate idea.

Delving into 75mm for the next couple projects.

Hi Blunderbus,can I call you Blunder?You have done a great job,looking forward to more.

Lovely painting.

How was the casting on this guy?
I recently done an Alexandros Steiner and the casting was pretty bad.

Again, great job.

Gells

Very nice work. Presentation is excellent!

Cheers,

Very nicely painted bust. I watched Enemy At The Gates again last night and was struck by the likeness of this bust to Jude Law's character in the movie.

For a first (or is that second) effort at busts, its a beauty. I think you may have found your sweet spot!

Nicely painted.
Ralph.

Thank you Chris

Hi Gells, The casting was OK. Had a few pits to fill but nothing to bad. Still can't believe they forgot the bolt handle for the rifle though.

Thank you Adrian!

Thanks Tony! I will definitely be doing more busts in the future.

Thanks Ralph!
