First round of drybrushing is done.

Hey Guy! You are a very brave man to paint the metals after you do the flesh tones!! I always paint the metal first as I always seem to get metallic pigments all over the place and they are a bear to get rid of. He is looking super btw, looking forward to see the leather finished.

looking kewl big guy


Looking forward to seeing them eyes done


Robin

Thanks for the kind words Anders and Robin. Anders, a coat of flat coat does wonders when the little specks of metal get on the flesh......a little thinner with a clean brush....they swipe right off.

Hey guy,
Looking good,particularly like the skin colour,looks realistic.
Roc.

Thanks Roc,
The skin looks so different once the colors are done around the skin area. Every figure I do this flesh with does the same......not sure about it after its done.......but seems to come into perspective after border areas are done. It is a monster to hold onto tho.

guy

Guy,

the Fleshtones look very convincing. Leave the eyes the way they are and make him a "zombie Mongol"

That thing's gotta weigh quite a bit, imagine if it were white metal! It could be a door stop. Do you know who sculpted it?
Lou

Thanks Lou,
I have no Idea who the sculpter was for Verlinden who did this big boy. And you are right.....if it were a white metal casting it would be one very heavy doorstop!

guy

I came back to this big boy today and proceeded to work on attaching all the horns and getting the armor plates cut from the sprue and samded and primed.

he looks so great that it almost scares me

I haven't had much time to paint lately so progress has been slow on several figures. I have to grind down the left head armor so it will fit and drybrush all the horns again.

Here is the front


Here is the rear


All comments and critique are welcome

I love those eyes, they have a real manic look to them. Top job Guy

Thanks John.....glad to see someone on my side.....My wife made me turn the bust around as she felt it was always looking at her. She said it was spooky. :lol:

Must mean it is a good paint job then!

It took me 8 months to finish this bust, working on it between other figures. I am open as always to any critique and comments to improve on the next.

another view

yet another

next to the last

This has been the largest scale ( 1/3 ) I have ever worked on and had to upsize my brushes to about all areas.

Hey guy, looks fantastic, you did a great job, I especially like the armor.

Keep up the good work.

Roc.
