A Fixture
I got this FeR 1/12th bust from El Greco this morning so as the wife had gone into town I started him.

It is a lovely smooth bust with very minimal cleaning up, so after that I drilled the holes for the brass rod and kebab skewers that I use for holding while painting, then I washed and dried him before priming.
Looked on the web to get some reference and found these couple of pics I liked.

Just primed the bits after fixing the right arm in place.

I love the detailing on the Tarleton Helmet.

I shall probably give the primer a couple of hours to dry then add some colour to the face.
