Mark, the face really is looking fantastic, the addition of the red in the klear works very well, I'm picking up all these pointers. wonderful!! Les

Mark,

Your best face so far, IMHO. Great use of colour to convey a sense of cold. I can't wait to see what helikes like with some ice on his moustache, beard and eye brows.

Really looking good, I agree with Mr. Barton this is your best. He is so cold he looks as if he might be sobbing. I got to get this bust.

Carl .... Thanks

Les ... Thank you and your welcome

Tony ... Thank you!

Mike ... Many thanks


Onwards! ....

Used my AB to lay some colour down on the toque and the great coat, still much to do adding some texture and sharpening things up.

Also started blocking in the tabard as I have decided to spend the time hand painting it as I want a light effect to the fabric, sortathing

Off to the Show at Yorkshire Air Museum tomorrow so may see some Planeteers there?

Stunning Mark!

This is top quality painting gents...

Great paint mark!!!

Mark, amazing work on the face, following.

Cheers Ken

Thats some nice work you have done on the fleshtones Mark, he looks very cold and misserable, he actually looks like someone with a bad cold or flu !!!

Steve

Hi Mark,

I really like the red blotches on his cheeks and nose. Looks like the capillaries under the skin have burst from severe cold. First stages of severe frost bite. My only suggestion would be to reduce the warm red colour of the lips for a cooler bluey purple colour.

Pedro .... Thank you!

Winston ... Many thanks

Ken ... Thanks

Carl ... Thanks man like the new avatar

Steve ... Thanks!

Tony ... Thanks again Yeah they need something else! I'm inclined to try and use blues and light skin tones to get a cracked and chapped look


Work on those whites!!!

Softening and ( hopefully ) adding some depth

I am really enjoying this . The best part about sculpting and actually casting your own figures apart from seeing the first casting come out is watching your sculpt come to life in paint.

Great job mark and can't wait to see it in the flesh at euro.

Stu ... thanks !



work continues, greatcoat is almost there and blocked in the leather bits

More Leather work

As I was Working just on leather parts today I got a bit more done on this .... not finished but heading the right way I think

..........

Nice leather Mark.

WOW! Looks great so far!!!

Pedro .... Thank you my friend!

Taesung ... Many thanks


Continue to work the straps and equipment, almost there! then some time working on the tabard and that scarf! Red? Tartan? oh I'll decide later

Really starting to come on now Mark. I'd like to see a bit more variation in the grey colours though- it still looks a bit monotone. Have you thought about changing the head scarf to a different colour?

Leather work ???? I cant get past that face mate, to me its the best one you have done so far and thats saying something.

Exellent work Mark,

Steve
