    Hi -here's some (rather poor) pics of the new bust from MMM. I love it. I rarely finish anything and I blitzed this over the weekend. There's still a way to go but it just takes paint so well.

    Hi there

    Really good to have you posting and a very popular bust as well

    Nice start on it , green does look a little subdued

    There are other versions both in V bench and completed yiu might like to look at as well

    Why not enter something in the class of your choice in our new FOTM

    Always good to see your art

    Look forward to the next update

    Happy benchtime

    Finished the camo. Done the webbing. Just the last few finishing touches and I may have a fully finished bust at last :)

    Hmm. Looks nice and matt in the flesh but there's a lot of shine in the pics.

    Good job on the DPM there Hobbes. It is a bugger to get right. I did this one a few weeks back. Offo's sculpts are always worth a look.

    Hi there

    The camo certainly looks good , I would work a bit more weathering on the webbing .

    Beret colour looks okay as well

    Thanks for sharing

    Happy benchtime

    Weathered the webbing down ( but you cant really tell from the pics). Added a few more shaded washes to help sharpen up the pockets etc.

    Fine work all round - the DPM is spot-on.

    Glad you used a better camera this time: That's some seriously nice paintwork, really like the freckled face and the DPM is spot on. What rank will you give him?

    Hi. Last pics. I had a mishap and dropped the figure taking some paint off the nose. I touched it up which looked okay by eye but is evident on the pics. I stippled the beret to give it a better texture. My fleshtones are anyone's guess. its a random mix of AV basic flesh, medium flesh, with blues, reds and browns added, all mixed on a wet palette.
