I started this 60mm white metal figure from http://www.greekheroes.gr/ last time I was at home and now I'm back from my summer holidays work has recommenced.

Lovely Roger.

Paul.

I'd been temped to try this as a bust...

Thanks very much Paul.

Why not Steve, give it a go.

Great work Roger. There is a lot of detail there. Are you painting in oils or acrylics?

Paul

Thanks very much Paul.
Most of what has been done so far is acrylics. The shading of the gold embroidery, metal parts of the helmet and greaves has been done with Burnt Umber oils.
I'll be using oils for further shading and highlighting of the clothes.

Thanks very much Kev.
We had a lovely holiday thanks. Once I've got my photo's organised I have some for the memorials thread.

Looking good Roger.

Splendid little fellow! Going to take a look at the Greek heroes site.

Wish you were still in Greece though supervising goats with the help of an endless stream of Backlavas and liters of 'cleaning fluid'. I am back too. But the homesick feeling in my belly is still there.

Cheers Paul

Thanks very much Ralph.

Thanks very much Paul.
There's some really nice ancients in the Greek Heroes range that would be right up your street, I'm tempted myself just to do something a bit different.
Missing my Baklava and goats but I have this to keep my brakes clean.

Great job so far Roger - I'm about to get started on a Greek subject myself (my 4th bust from YS...)
Regards,
Phil

Todays work has mainly been focused on the fustanella.

That's a superb looking figure and lovely painting.

Thanks very much Bob, the Greek Heroes figures really are a pleasure to paint.

Beautiful figure and beautifully painted.......... I have this figure, I think it's time for me to paint it...

Keep up the great work.....

Cheers

Thanks very much Roc.
It's definitely time for you to paint yours... don't delay, you'll enjoy it.
