Hi to all on PF ,

Following on from Jimbo's sculpting WIP http://www.planetfigure.com/threads/1-10-bust-sgt-bruse-1854.53476/watch-confirm...................

and my review :...................http://www.planetfigure.com/threads...m-mitches-military-models.55143/watch-confirm

I have started getting some colour on Sgt B .....it has now progressed even further (pics to follow later) , fleshwork now finished , hair done , rank basecoated ....lots of other base colours put on .

A nice subject full of challenges ...and medals (still can't read the writing on those clasps Jimbo!!!)

There will be a lot of yellow lacework ...my question is how does everyone else approach this colour ...base/shadows/highs etc....all thoughts very welcome

Thanks for looking in

Hi Guys ,

Here are a couple of pics how it looks at the moment ...lots to do still ..the cap is still base coated with some washes on the band ..lacework just based in yellow Ochre , with the rank based in GW Yellow ..lots of shados and highs to put on ...actually looks a lot beter in real life ...honest!!!!

Will probably revisit the hair again (oh happy memories of having some!!!)

Keith ,

Thanks for the colour mixes ...now in my little black book incase I go over to the darkside ....biccys rather nice as was the lardy cake we had as well ...low calorie of course!!!!

Jimbo ,

How are you going to explain the fact that your cute grandchildren will find the biccy jar empty ...and don't mention my name !!!

Will post more progress shots as I can

Thanks for looking in

Hi Guys ,


Keith ,

Braid now all done , under the collar was a little awkward due to the bushy beard !!!!

Barrel sash all done

Rank and cap now next in line for the 6" brush !!!!

Then its the belt ...going to do this a little worn

Then the buttons ...metallics for these !!!

Will revisit the hair and blues again I think ...looking at shadows on the arm where it meets the chest ...nothing too much though

Wish I didn't have to go to work!!!!!...roll on 4 pm

Ref the biccys ....Jimbo insisted ..it would have been not very "matey" to refuse ...as for the hair ..its a sign of virility ...apparently


Jimbo ,

"I know nothing" as Manuel off Fawlty Towers used to say ...good to hear the biccy bin is all resupplied mate

Thanks for looking in

Hi guys ,

Just a update on this little cracker of a bust ....the cap and the rank is now all completed some lovely details from Jimbo which have come out well ...I will post pics when I am a little nearer the house ...and the brushes ...the South West Figure Modellers have a "Paint & Putty" day tommorow so I hope to be able to finish this one after doing the belt and the buttons then the medals.............

Then base up....and onto the next one .....

Mad Mitch from MMM again and hey !! he has medals !!!!

Hi Keith ,
