Stalingrad Bust made by Stormtroopers and originally painted by Gothic Geek. I picked this up at Euro Militaire 2010.
I hope I have done an ok rendition as this is my first post and would really appreciate anyone’s comments and feedback.
This bust is painted solely in acrylic. P.S. I hope this post works as I completely hate computers!

. Thanks, Sam B

Very nice Sam. I particularly like the frozen 'tache & eyebrows, & the colouring you've used for the highlights on the nose - it really does look like the early symptoms of frostbite.
Keep it up, & let's see more of your work soon!

Cheers,
Chris

Sam, that's more than just an o.k rendition, great work on the facial tones and the frozen snow effect is spot-on. Congrats.

Cheers Ken

Very nice

I love the weathered look of figures especially Russian Front ones. The flesh tones and snow effects are spot on. very well painted overall.

Lovely job Sam and you really put the cold atmosphere into this one which really makes the difference.

Nice job,


Steve

You done a fair job on this awesome bust from stormtroopers.

Sam,

Outstanding job! I haven't felt that cold since Antarctica!!

Nick

Definitely more than OK Sam!

Love the ice on the moustache and eye brows!

Cheers,

What a debut Sam. Excellent painting. You've really captured the look and the feel of the frozen environment.

I almost thought someone uploaded the box art pictures again. That's how good it is, Sam!

I am obsessed with pinky flesh so brilliantly painted nose there, among other things

Great stuff Sam --- spot on !!

Sam,

I join the crowd, excellent rendition, perfect atmosphere!

What did you use for the snow effects?

Thanks
Denes

Sam this is some really fine painting. Great result. Congrats.

Very cool Sam, (no pun intended) the snow is nicely understated and really adds the 'shiver' feel. Cheers, Ron

Thanks to everyone who commented on my figure , it means alot !

oh and to Denes i use white marble dust from kitchen work top ( i have friend who fits them ) he gathered the dust up for me , i mixed it with watered down pva !!!! it sounds a bit odd .

thank sam

Marble dust!

Sam....patent that!

Put it in a bag and sell the stuff!

(Just don't get caught by the old bill selling a white powder called 'marble dust'.....that'll land you a ten year stretch!)

Cheers,
Jon.

Great work and he is look like it is freezing. You captured that wonderfull.

Nice work Sam, very convincing look especially the iced up eyebrows and moustashe. Les

Thanks for your reply Sam, it very well imitates the structure of frost, frozen snow. A quick search showed it is commercialy available http://www.kremerpigments.com/shopus/index.php?cat=01050101&lang=ENG&product=58500
Might give it a try as I'm still a bit reluctant to use Micro ballons indoors...
