    Amazing work! Simply awesome! I'm a big fan of the series. Did you sculpt this in addition to painting it? Looking forward to seeing the rest.

    I agree, looks true to life.

    How long does it take you from bare surface to finished for a sculpt/ head that size?

    Airbrush as well as brush work?

    May add this to my reference folder, there is a lot of good work there, one can see.

    Thanks for sharing

    Cheers

    Allright,

    Thank you. This was sculpted by Andy Bergoltz, and painted by me. It is done entirely by brush in Liquitex acrylics and pastels. It took me roughly 3 hours to finish. Please feel free to add it to your reference folder.

    Hi John,

    wow! Both of you did an excellent job! How can you manage such a sized head in 3 hours?

    Thanks for sharing

    I don't know the show at all, so I can't speak to likeness, but I can say it is definitely an absolutely fantastic piece of sculpting and painting!

    I've seen some good realistic painting on 1/1 scale busts before, but to get a likeness at this scale is incredible. To do it in 3 hours is beyond belief. I just shake my head in awe.

    That head is scaringly realistic, unbelievable!!! Must be the best miniature head I ever saw...
  18. boot25 New Member

    Thank you everyone. I used Liquitex acrylics and pastels. I then sealed it with Testors Dullcote.

    What a fab sculpt, the likeness is not quite perfect but it's damned fine work. And super paintwork!

    This Andrew Bergholtz?

    Do you have any photos of the sculpt prior to painting John?

    Was this an exercise in speed painting or that's just how fast you always paint?

    Could we have more detail than just the medium please? I'm sure everyone would love to know at least some of the method, colour mixes, any other tips!
