    Having released this bust last week I decided to have a go painting it, here are a couple of WIP photos. A long way to go but a reasonable start:

    Hi Guys

    Here is my finished version of this bust. It was pointed out to me that the eyes were not quite level so I have re-sculpted the head to adjust the eyes which I think are better. Here is a photo of the finished bust painted with Vallejo Acrylics.

    I didn't have access to a real 'mae west', fortunately there a loads of photos on the WWW.

    The November release is likely to have some medals!
