Hello Everybody...

Another update - before I get to the pics though...

Wayne, Steve, Tony, Perseas, Oda and Huw - thanks so much for your kind comments. They're very much appreciated. This has been a pretty demanding bust, and the positive feedback has certainly been motivating!

Since I've last posted, I've finished off the other arm, and all the details except the shoulder pads.







Here are the shoulder pads... they're about 80% finished. (And yes, they are every bit the pain in the ass to paint that you would think...)



I'll be finishing him off during my next session (whenever that may be... I haven't had as much time as I'd like this past week...), and hopefully have some nicer pics.

Regards,
Phil

That is some spectacular painting (and hard on the eyes).

Spectacular it is indeed!!!!!

Oda.

Magnificent progress Phil, it's pity that all this impressive work in the hand will be hidden (partially) from the shoulder pads!
I also admire the work in the sword, this ivory-wood colour is amazing, and the green shades are perfect!
Waiting to see it complete!!!

Excellent painting Phil.

Thanks for the nice comments everybody - it's been quite a task to get this guy done.
I finally finished him though and you can see the final pics here...

Regards,
Phil
