    Resin bust of a sailor from the USS Arizona with the ships standard (?) flag. Very nicely cast in grey resin arms and head tacked in place with blue tack, no gaps. As usual will be painted in oils over acrylic base coats.

    Got some flesh on him (oils) and been in the dryer overnight. Hair still glossy so not dry yet, Need to work on his pupils , add some red into his cheeks . Tone in his shaved head. Paint his lips and maybe add some more shadows

    Hi Nap,
    Yes eyes not finished yet, and may try to add dripping water, not sure on the technique for it though.
