    hello
    cheers pedro thanks for your comment.because i have always the problem that my transitions in paints of the different parts of face are on the harsh side-i normaly end the painting then with an wash made out of eqaul parts red and yellow with an little dark brown it.so this is applied dabbed imediatly off.it will make the pink not to stand out to stronly.
    so some treatment of hair and the face would be done-i think the sculpt look an lot like the reall skorzeny.i have from the same artist the peiper bust as well and can it warmly recommand
    well for 17 bucks.how can you fail.an cheap ways to make its entry in larger scale busts.
    cheers

    well steve
    well skorzeny is surely an chap on which oppinions might collide.i had only the bust in mind.the raid on Gran Sasso was surely an military highlight and was executed flawless.i thought only on the interesting military career of skorzeny.and more what could suit an bust better than this face with the biog scars in it..i had tremendous fun painting this.even more because its so good in regards to its cheap pricing.
    i have no idea who sculpted it but i hope this artist i still in business and will do more.
    iam an avid lover of his sculpts
    cheers

    hello pedro
    well one could say i have to say that while doing that bust i did cook an whole pot of Goulash as well.
    i think when face gets along well one is strirred to keep it rolling and busts are fast done.no camouflage to paint here so easy going.
    well and i did take the first pic of an figure in my life time which does look fully pleasing for my taste.
    so an good day.i have something to eat for the next two days and have something to play and to look at
    cheers
