Hi y'all!

Here he is done at last!
So fed up with it and all the problems I've encountered during the whole process. Just to make it short, the cast was so terrible that I had to replace the face with a copy from a Young Miniature bust... And that was just the beginning...
Quite happy with the result though. I'm glad I didn't quit on it. But....never again.
On to something else!

PS I'd love to hear from those of you who own that piece, wether they painted it already or not.

Very nice. I was going to pick this up on eBay as my first bust. I’m glad I didn’t.

Iwik what a lovely bust. Well done.
My example is sitting on the shelf undercoated in black. Yes I had issues with my example including poor casting and parts badly misaligned. Out with the greesntuff (putty) and all was made good.
Yes a lot of work. The end result looking good. Thanks Andy for giving us the blank canvas so to speak.
One day I will paint it. LOL

Very nice result. Bear fur are amazing!

Cheers Borek

I admire your dogged persistence with this one.
Your ‘surgery’ has worked very well, and your painting has resulted in an excellent bust.
Cheers,
Andrew
