Started this excellent 3d Printed bust of Sam Elliotts character Shea Brennan in the Paramount tv show - '1883'
Face was base coated in Acrylics and then the oils were painted in. spent 18hrs in the dryer and then a couple of tints with Barok red and Indigo blue, hair started black, then a yellow tint, followed by a very dilluited coat of white oil paint, eyes have to be worked on, pretty happy with the way he is going.

Nice start Steve, on what you say is a brilliant bust.
I hope to start on my one soon.

Hi Steve you have captured the skin so well, I'm sure it will look brilliant once finished. I have started my one but it's in 1/9th scale as I'm frightened of that larger scale . Are to leaving your hatless or just removable ?

Great likeness of Sam. . Mike

Now that looks like Sam Elliot!

Think i will leave the hat off, the hair has been superbly sculpted and printed, be a shame to not see it. will attach it to the plinth somehow, maybe with some gloves and rope

Thanks chaps

That facial furniture looks like real hair. Nice work old bean!

Hello, nice work. I have just bought the 1/9 bust of this, is this one the same scale?

This is the 1/6th version

Man, that bust calls for a lot of "neck" work, the wrinckle are numerous. Great work, Steve.

Really happy with how this has turned out, slight panic and WTF moment - put on a coat of my usual Matt Varnish (AK Ultra)on his head only for it to bleed out the colour on his face - think i have managed to rectify it. Scarf and jacket painted and blended on the bust using Scale75 Tube acrylics. Shirt in oils, hat next;

.....

ARRGGHH Just spotted the black spill on the side of his scarf

Ah, should a said nothin, I didn't catch it, HA!

Excellent work, Steve, flesh work is looking really good. Your painting skills are coming of age quite nicely, Ma Brotha!

Lol. When photos show things we don't see... happens to me often. Easy fix on a nice bust. Good work.

Steve

Great stuff Steve, looks like fun to paint
