Hi all , after a long time no paint, I managed to get this beautiful bust by Igor Danilkin and Stuart Hale completed . The build is great and sculpt is spot on with only minimal cleaning up of the resin. As always painted in acrylics with some air brush and oils for the metal work.
Please feel free to comment and thanks for taking the time to look.

Nice work Sam, I like the tones you have used and how they blend together so well.

Thanks Roger glad you like him

Great. I like the "no damned sun in too damned long" skin tones.

Thanks Steve , i tried giving him that cold not seen the sun for a whil look . Not sure wether to weather him up a bit more though ?
Sam

Hi Mitsutaka , thanks for the comment Im glad you like him

Hi Brian , no mate Ive not gone anywhere !! It seems my 9 month old knows every time I pick up a brush its time to kick off .... Hope your well though mate ?

All the best
Sam

Marc cheers pal

That looks great Sam,
It's probably the photos but is there more contrast in the coat? It looks kind of one tone. Maybe a wee pinwash over some bits to add depth? I'd weather him but I like to weather all my soldiers.
The face is quite stunning, including the beard.
Top job.
