    Some more painting complete but still some way to go, tidy up some over spills and tidy some seams.
    The whites were painted in deck tan and highlights of ivory, some extreme highs were painted with white.
    Face in oils.

    Very nice, Bob. I like the method you’ve used to paint the whites, will make a note of that.

    Nice one Bob - I like the bicorne which changes the character of the figure (Mental note made ;))
    Cheers

    Paul. Many thanks mate, I liked the pose of this one and looked for a suitable head. Great service from Switzerland too.

    Matt, thank you very much.

    Pete, I was pleased with the outcome, took me 3 days to get the result with the whites.

    Hi Bob

    Now that is a nice conversion ...simply by changing to a bicorne adds a lot more

    All the painting looks great but the whites really look good ...3 days well spent

    Why not enter FOTM as well if you wish

    Thanks for sharing

    Happy benchtime
