    Guys, thanks for your positive replies. I'm humbled. I hope i can answer some of your questions.

    Roy , thanks. Hope I meet you in person at euro

    Joe Hudson, how are you my friend. You will probably find answers to your questions further down.

    Craig, there is not much you can say about this bust except that it is excellently sculpted by Andrea Jula for Pegaso. It comes in 4 parts, bust,hat and 2 crosses so not much planning involved. It's a painters bust

    Gino, I painted the figure entirely in acrylics. You can find the mixes below.

    Jim, my newly found big buddy. The MM is here to stay, if half of it is not asleep :lol: :lol:

    I hope the mixes I used are found usefull.

    Flesh Base is rather simple. What I did was include some purple and red/black mixes for the shadows to give a warmer effect.

    Base: AV845 + AV909 + AV921
    H/L : base + AV845
    H/H/L : H/L + AV928
    L/L : base + AC23
    L/L/L : L/L + AV909 + AC26

    Washes in AV814 + AC26

    Beard area in mixes of greys/blue/black

    The Uniform jacket was painted as follows:

    Base: AC1 + AV994 + AV886
    H/L : base + AV886
    H/H/L : AV886
    L/L : Base + AC26
    L/L/L : L/L + AC26

    HAT :
    Base : AC1 + AV994 + AC59
    H/L : base + AC59
    H/H/L : AC59
    L/L : base + AV994
    L/L/L: L/L + AC26

    Hey Steve

    I looked at this guy at Euro but somehow I didn't connect it with you. Now I remember you mentioned you were doing it for a friend.

    I really can't add anything to what's already been said on here, just to say that I think it is absolutely superb.

    Good to see you again at Folkestone mate :)

    All the best

    Great bust, with a very expressive face! It was certainly one of my favourites at euro.

    Best wishes,
