That's looking rather nice mate, cap comforter looks like a nightmare to paint
Steve

Nice face!! Keep on

Pedro

Nice eyes, blue but not too blue.

Cheers,
Adriaan

Painting same one at the moment, must close eyes not to pinch some of your vision of it

Have you decided about colour of the jumper? I am talking about few accounts of him wearing white one but I only managed to find one picture supporting it.

Looking good.

Can I ask about the crowns on the shoulder bands - are they supposed to be silver?

Looks really nice...can't wait to see more progress.

Colin

Cheers Gaudin,
I also have the Paddy Maine bust and will give him the white jumper.
The shoulder bands are the same colour as the battledress. His rank emblem is a Major, so golden/yellow thread will be the colour.

Gells

Wikipedia says (of D-Day): “Lord Lovat reputedly waded ashore donning a white jumper under his battledress, with “Lovat” inscribed into the collar…” The question is – where on the collar, what size and what colour. Perhaps best to ignore this?

Will follow with interest, Gells.

Jeff

Lovely job on the face, will be watching your work on the rest.
Great bust, and the regiments history is astounding.

Don

My clan chief (Fraser of Lovat) so I will need to pick one of these up myself at some point.Looks like yours will be the one to follow.

Colin

Great work Grant.
Following with interest Mate.
Cheers,
Keith

Very nice start.
Gonna follow this one.

marc

nice start and excellent eyes

Great work so far Grant, fascinating character carrying on the tradition of his ancestors.
Now we need someone to do a bust of the 11th Lord Lovat (last man to be publicly beheaded in Britain). (take note crf Colin)
Looking forward to seeing this progress, it's a lot more challenging than it first appears.
Cheers
Derek

DEL – it would make a change from people asking “where are the legs?” if someone did a bust of the beheaded 11th Lord Lovat!

Jeff

Looking good!

Joe

Doesn't look one of the easiest faces to paint Gells!! look forward to the progress.
