Very nice Steve, very nice. The yellow sou'wester looks really good, adds a nice contrast.

Lovely job Steve and no doubt your chuffed with the final result considering it’s a venture into using a different paint medium.

Thanks, and yes over the moon with him. just the fish to paint.

having spent to much time looking at swordfish on the web, started on this resin version

An interesting approach Steve. I love how this bust has been done by three of us, all in a rather different way.

Calling the swordfish done;

Just waiting on the replacement rope from the good people at scientific models to arrive, then i can attach him to the old guys back!

Indeed. When I clumsily managed to break a small piece of the sou'wester of mine, gpldsl (SM) contacted me to offer a replacement. First class people.

brilliant service indeed

Good service begets good customers....
I've just ordered another Old Fisherman ( I know... But I simply need to do one with yellow foulweather gear, and the pipe..) , and also the rhinoceros with ranger diorama.

Lovely work Steve - the perfect rendering of a salty old seadog. Love the marlin too.

I do like the look of the rhino vignette, but waiting on the release of the afghan man and child bust.

Royal Mail have now delivered the replacement rope from Scientific Models, So i can now get him finished;






Swordfish steak anyone?

virtually all done, need to get some better photos outside
