Not much progress over the past few days. Work got the better of me.... managed to squeeze in an hour last night.

I felt the tunic was kinda flat and plain in color. Decided to add some variation by glazing on some red-violet in the shadows and on some parts of the uniform. Will continue the glazing later tonight to bring out the shadows.

On another note, i finally bought a cordless drill/driver. Loving it to bits

Here's a pic of last night's session with the bust mounted on a new teak plinth.

Very nice!.. the eyes look astonishing !...thanks for sharing

looks great!! I agree with the others that the tan is about right, grime googles is right on, and the sweat marks will add to the character...

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Hi all,

Going to call the bust done for now. Maybe some minor tweaks ...

Here's a link to the rest of the photos over at the Critique Centre : http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/youngs-british-sas-north-africa-1941.56518/

Lastly, here's a shot of the last 3 busts i painted. All from the North Africa campaign Time to move on to another theatre ...

Cool. You have inspired me enough to consider having a crack at this one and I have zilch interest in this campaign. Left hand bust needs one of you really nice labels to tie in the collection....they will look awesome together!
