An "Alexandros models" bust, scale about 1/10.
An excellent bust, highly detailed. The large surfaces needed to be painted as metallic and the lion fur were quite demanding, but both gave me a lot of enjoy while I was painting them.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Excellent paintjob!

Beautiful painting

Mobo

great painting work, well done

Gorgeous piece, Theodoros. Can you please tell me what brand(s) of metallics you used? Thanks.

Well done; really like the big "putty tat" head gear.

FABULOUS!

Good morning samson ! Usually I am not very-very careful on cleaning a figure; and I know this a fault of mine... Moreover, in this case the bust did n't punish me for my neglect. The reason is that the resin casting was amazing with all the elements clearly visible, without molding lines.

Very good, superb.

Ok great info your piece looks great

Like specially the lion. A masterpiece

Super finish Theodoros. Like your representation of the lion and the metallics look great also.

Thank you Lissorles !
In this case, to paint the metallic parts, I followed these stages :

1. a dark brown enamel basecoat
2. gold printer's ink all over the base coat
3. dense oil black shadows to the deepest point, diluted indigo blue to the "border" of black
4. general shadowing on the lower parts using a reddish brown oil colour
5. oil pure gold, a bright one, to highlight the upper surfaces (two and more coats)
6. when everything was dried up, I painted all the metallic surface using a thin layer of "reddish" gold.
7. I covered all the metallic surface with a thin coat of satin varnish.

[Soon, I will upload the pictures of the exact colours I have used.]
