Hello All - This is my last miniature I have finished. Finished about 3 months ago. Been to busy with work to take any pictures, but finally took some this weekend. I had not done a bust in a while so this was fun. It is a Resicast bust of a French Gentleman. I got it at the World Expo in the Discount bin for $5.00. It was a pretty good casting overall except for parts of the face. I did not take any in progress pics of the changes I did to the face, but this is what I did. Trimmed down eyebrow bones, made chin and cheek bones more prominent, redid lower left eyelid, made new moustache, redid lips. Basically I thinned his whole face down, he looked like he got bit by a bunch of bees. Nothing done to the rest of the figure.

Enjoy the pics and please feel free to comment in any way.
BTW - all painted in acrylics.

WOW.............awesome work Brad. I saved this one to my collection of bust pics. Are you going to Tulsa this year?

Way to go Bradwich! Fantastic piece! Nice transitions in the fleshtones, the textures and the drum plinth on this piece are great. My only nit-pick would be the eyes. Althought they look pretty good, I think the pupils are a bit too big. Over all though, really well done. One of your best I think. Kepp 'em comin'!

Great work, Brad.

I like it Brad. Very colorful and the flesh tones are well done. Like the base too.

Guy - thanks for your reply. I am not going to Tulsa this year. I have an opportunity to go to Boston with my 14 yr old daughter on kind of a school trip. About 6 adults and 20 kids. It is from June 1-5. So I will do this with my daughter and probably not be able to make any shows this year.

Jay - thanks for your reply also. I would have to lean to agreeing with you about the eyes. His left eye was originally a very large opening and I added lower eyelid with putty to make it smaller, but I think it is smaller than his right eye now. And i think it might also be part of the picture. As I look at it right now, they don't appear to be too large.

Anyway - I miss seeing you, Guy, Adam and all the others at Tulsa.

Brad

Keith - PJ - Thank you also for looking and your replies.
