    Thank you Bill ...it's getting there , no idea why I left face till last but seems to occur when there are medals on sculpt as also in the next after Harry the late HRH Prince Philip ....but will endeavour to do flesh first !

    Appreciate your time


    Thank you for commenting , they have come out okay and look good viewing the bust in scale


    UPDATE

    Harry has several spots/ pimples , these I added on the nose , left upper side of nose , left nostril at edge and just below left temple

    Blemishes are also seen so will try and reproduce using paint effects

    As I said I really want to pay tribute

    Artist Bill Leyshon was commissioned to paint this oil portrait of Harry Patch by the Western Daily Press in 2007. It was unveiled at Fletcher House in Wells where Harry spent the last years of his life, and is now at Somerset County Museum, Taunton

    An emotional moment when Harry Patch (centre) joined Henry Allingham, 112, and Bill Stone, 108, as the last surviving veterans of the First World War at the Armistice Day Commemoration Ceremony at the Centotaph in Whitehall, London in 2008

    Another nice bust moving inexorably to the finish line.
    Very neat painting throughout.
    Look forward to seeing it close up, in due course.

    Cheers,

    Couple of iffyvision pics

    Flesh coming along , still fair bit to do including lips , forehead lights etc

    Shiny as there's a touch of blending medium ...letting it fully dry back before doing anything else

    Did notice Harry wore hearing aids ......mmmmmm

    All comments welcome
