Excellent painting Simon

Agreed! + 1

Carl, Dimitros, Ben, Mike, Tony, Gordy - thank you very much for kind words.
I hope next update will be in a few weeks, not months.

Hello.
Two and a half month - it's still ten weeks, so, I've almost keept my promise
Many things happened in the meantime - between others, I moved into a new house . Beacouse of this, I was extremely busy.
Now I'm back in painting, hopefully, for good .
I'm still struggling with this model. Painting torso make me feel a bit like Cinderella. Try to paint all this scales and you will know why :/. Each piece takes its time to paint. And I've made a major mistake - I used grey undercoat. In effect, I must outline each (censored) scale. It's a Sisyphean task. I should have used a black undercoat, that would spare me so much work...
I hope you like my efforts :
Cheers

It's gorgeous and is brilliant progress.
Very beautiful.
I'd like to follow.

Mitsutaka.

Lovely work, Simon! Excellent paintjob!
Eddy

Very nice work nice skin tones to me

Have this figure since our last show at my shelf.

So far you are doing some amazing paintjob.
Marc

Great looking paintwork on those scales, I think they'd drive me crazy!

Excellent paintwork so far! Too bad to hear abour your suffering with the -censored- scales, but your tip about a black basecoat is much appreciated!

Cheers,
Adrian

Mitsutaka, Eddy, Whitney, Marc, James, Adrian - many thanks for nice comments

Simon

Hello friends.
My work on this bust is nearly over. In a day or two the figure will be finished.
Today I'd like to show only the torso (head didn't change much since my last post).
I hope you like it.

simon, that`s a great looking bust! should be lots of fun to paint. enjoy yourself. bill

At last I finished this bust.
It was definetly the most labour - intensive figure I've painted, but now, I must admit, in comparison with my other models it looks pretty impressive.
So, I guess, it was worth painting .
I hope you like it.
Do not hesitate to leave comments if you do (or if you don't )


Thanks for nice comment, Bill. It was rather more work then fun

Very nice and smooth work! Lovely piece!
Eddy

Thanks for the comment Eddy. I do appreciate it much, because I find your miniatures (especially busts) as one of the best paintworks.
