    I've painted the face, hat and gloves in oils, with the uniform in acrylics.

    Hi Anjou.
    My apologies for not replying sooner, I've been on Grandad duty for most of the day.
    I've actually had the bust since it's release, but only just getting around to painting.
    It maybe worth contacting Stu at Stormtroopers in case he plans to cast some more up.

    Thank you for your interest in the post. (y)

    I have to confess I can't take credit for the choice of colours used. I was rather taken by the box art by Ernest, that I decided to follow that route.:whistle:

    Hi Guys

    Mr Malc is having computer issues so asked me to post this update

    Hi all

    Bit of a update

    After blocking out the colours in acrylics, I've begun overpainting them in oils.

    There are indeed, I did consider a different regiment, but in the end I thought the one on the box art complimented the bust nicely.

    The white cross is next to be painted, before the final detail is added.
