Just made and painted a corncob pipe out of a bit of kebab stick and a short length of solder.



That is now him finished.

Cheers all
Geoff

Thanks mate.

Geoff

Very nice finish to thiS Geoff. Lovely subdued colours and like the weathered edging on the belt. The pipe is a great touch, just adds that little bit extra.

Neal

Excellent work, especially weathering the cartridge box strap. I just received my copy today.

Many thanks Neal, I did the belt the opposite way I usually do and it seems to work better, might just be a one off but will try it again on another one. I am pleased with the pipe too, just adds to the Hillbilly look.

Cheers
Geoff

Many thanks, hope you enjoy painting him as I did.

Great work Geoff! The pipe is perfect.

Thanks a lot Ken, I'm pleased with that too.

Lovely job, Geoff. I like the scratched corncob pipe, what you've done with his hat, & the shading on the gumcloth/blanketroll.
Top-notch in all respects, just as always.

Hi Geoff,

Great job! Could you post a picture alongside one more traditional 1/9 busts? To give a notion of the size. I find these busts 1/6 to be very interesting, but I do not know how big they look.

Thank you and kindest regards,

Many thank Chris, as I said in a previous post the hat was pure luck, I could not get the colour I wanted and was going to remove the paint and start again but just thought I would give it a couple of coats of Citadel Earth wash to see if that improved it, left it to dry overnight and that was the result, dead chuffed.

Cheers
Geoff

Thank you Filipe, I will do it in the morning, just off to bed now.

Cheers
Geoff

YES!! The pipe absolutely makes this bust; adds much more character.

Excellent work and painting great buste

Mobo

Many thanks Guys, now to get on with the next one.

Cheers
Geoff

Here you go Filipe, 1/9th and 1/6th.



Quite a difference.

Geoff

Geoff, thank you a lot for your time to take the pic. I was worried that, if I buy one of these, it wouldn't fit my cabinet, but I think that it will

Again, thank you

Regards
