WIP Spare heads.

Discussion in 'vBench (Works in Progress)' started by Geoff Charman, Dec 15, 2019.

    I have three spare heads from various busts and thought I would paint them up, for a bit of practice, while the Artist's Oil paint was drying on my current WIP Bust.

    The first one I have painted was from CGS's 1/9th French Infantry 1796.

    I have a slouch hat from Stormtrooper's 17th lancer during the Boer War that I have made to fit him but just need to rough it up a bit for him to be an Aussie in the outback.

    Cheers

    You are getting silly now mate, I have been bending the rim a bit in hot water and pleased with it.

    It's done Nap, primed and base coated, amazing what freshly boiled water can do and a bit of finger work then cold water.

    Thank you Guys, I have now given the hat some colour but it has got a shine so will have to let it dry well before giving it a flat coat.

    Cheers

    Hat played about with and attached to head, I think it needs a bit of highlight dry-brushing before he's done.

    Will leave glue to dry before touching him again.
