Another bust from Mr Nap's clearance sale, this one from Dolman.



Cleaned up and primed



Lovely smooth moulding, and the gloved hand with bino's are in whitemetal and also nicely moulded.

Carefully blocked in the base colours, not forgetting to paint the arm with the uniform colour mix.



I think I may need to give the tunic top a greenish wash for the WW1 colour.

I started with the body first this time to make a change.

That's it for today.

Geoff

good start, will be following.

Very nice start Geoff and the colours are looking good too.

Many thanks Guys, I think a slight green wash should make it better for period, so roll on tomorrow.

Cheers
Geoff

More progress, repainted the tunic, this time with a bit more green to it, pleased with it now.

Some more detailing and the face painted in my usual Artist's oils, more to this once the oils have dried.



That's it for today and possibly for a couple of days, visitors coming tomorrow.

Geoff

Taking shape quite nicely as always Geoff

Is it me and my imagination running away with me or does he look like Benebict Cumberbatch ?

Many thanks Malc, I thought that, I think there are a few that look like him about.

Cheers
Geoff

Thanks Nap, I did think of it but the arm band would have been tricky to paint. The arm has had some doctoring to fit well.

Cheers
Geoff

Finally got back to him and finished him.



Enjoyed this one.

Geoff.

P.S. the next one will be Gord's bust of Kitchener from that famous recruitment poster.

He looks really good Geoff, nice job on the painting.

Many thanks Bob.

Cheers Geoff

Thanks a lot Nap, no, no medal ribbons, he had a quiet time but rose into being in long serving Army family.

Cheers
