    Here's my latest...a 200mm resin bust of Pieper, by Verlinden. I painted him entirely in Vallejo acrylics.
    Thanks for looking and any comments!

    Nice work Grunt 26,

    I think the swastika in the centre of the iron cross needs to be painted silver.

    it doesn't. From the few I've seen in person!
    And this...........
    Thanks,
    Rod

    Hi Rod, nice rendition, always a greater challenge in hand painted acrylics and the personal need to get better at this method, am busy with an Andrea Sitting Bull bust which I'll post as and when I get finished.

    Wow! wonderful bust.
    Flesh color is very realistic.
    The color of the clothes is also very beautiful.
    I congratulate completion!

    Thanks, Rob

    You aren't kidding! I had to learn how to paint all over again, after close to 30 yrs in oils! I think I'm finally staring to get the hang of it though, been using them for 5-6 yrs now, and I'm finally getting the blending that I want!
    Thanks for looking, and good luck with your Sitting Bull project!

    Thank you very much, Hikaru!

    I worked the flesh tones for a few days trying to get a nice smoothe blend and balance, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
    Thanks for the compliments!
    Best regards,
