I think everyone loved this guy from Kelly's Heroes played by Donald Sutherland.



I got the bust from MMM and it comes in two main parts, head and V body plus smaller pieces of goggles, strap, dogtag and Iron Cross. (Main parts shown here)



After trimming, washing and priming I started on the head using Artist's oils after painting the eyes in acrylics.



That's it for today

Geoff

Thanks Man.

As character busts go (and I have one as well in the GA) it's right up there amongst the very best. Great progress so far Geoff and I'm sure this will be great when finished...."just have a little faith baby...have a little faith!"

Gary

Thanks Gary, There is nothing negative about my waves mate so plenty of faith in it looking good.

Geoff

not to sound stupid,but what company is the bust from? what is MMM?

This is gonna be cool!

Joe

Thanks Joe, I hope he turns out OK

Geoff

Thank mate, the leather work is going to be a challenge but that I think will be in Artist's oils.

Yes, I do like MMM stuff, have a few now, Ross needs to get some more Victorian era ones and Napoleonics I think.

Have a great time at Folkstone.

Geoff

Nice start.

Marc

Glad you have the confidence in me doing it Nap.

Hope you have a long list of wants for the show.

Geoff

Thanks Marc.

Geoff

I’ve got the full set, terrific busts from Ross and co.

Nice set John, I only wanted "Odd Ball" as I think he looks the best and he was quite a character.

Geoff

Nice work on a great subject! Looking forward to seeing more
Phil

Thanks Phil, I shall be posting a pic soon as I have done his leather cap.

Geoff

I had a play with my Artist's oils painting his leather helmet, or what ever it's called, pleased with the result, good practice before I start on his leather jerkin.
