Geoff I love the work on this bust, the painting looks very natural.
Santi.

Great work Geoff and the AK true metal gold really does look nice.

Gary

Coming along nicely Geoff, looking forward to seeing the end result on this one.

will use the Earth shade wash from Citadel,

Thanks Nap, I think I will as it is a bit too shiny and bright, will use the Earth shade wash from Citadel I think.

Cheers
Geoff

Many thanks Tommi, and there was I thinking how slow I was working.

Cheers
Geoff

Many thanks Santi, it is a nice bust to work on, but a bit tight in places to get the brush in especially around the collar area, but as a modelling friend once said, "if you can see it, your can paint it"

Cheers
Geoff

Thank you Gary, It is a nice paint to apply but I think it is too shiny for certain things so I shall have to dull it down just a bit for this application.

Cheers
Geoff

Thanks Chris, Yes so am I even to getting all the blocking colours on to get an idea of how it will look.

Cheers
Geoff

Chugging along nicely Geoff.

Thanks Malc.

Geoff

A bit more progress made in the last couple of days.

Work on the cords on the pelisse, took some of the brightness off the dolman cords and danglers, first colour coat on plume and another coat of Nuln Oil shade wash on colpeck and the cords and danglers painted.



That's it today.

Cheers
Geoff
Postie brought me my next one this morning, from Steve at SK.

Looking good Geoff, the next one looks good too.

Thank you Bob, I liked the look of the new one when I saw the completed one on here, yellow with an orange tint uniform something different.

Cheers
Geoff.

The gold has a lot of depth now you have dulled it down, looking very good all over.

Gary

Many thanks Gary, pleased I did the right thing.

Cheers
Geoff

Finished him, and what a super bust to paint.




Thank you for all your comments and likes.

On to the next one.
Cheers
Geoff
