I started to paint this beautiful bust produced by the newly formed "Life Miniatures"
unlike the wonderful box art, I decided to bring me a bit 'more to the photographer (Larry Burrows) who inspired the piece, and then with eyes and darker hair
It is still very wet ....
I hope that your face will please you, even if it still has to improve in the tackle and in the eyes.

Nice start to this fantastic bust. I like his face so far. I'll be watching.

Nice start Mao!. I'm actually painting this same bust and I'm pretty sure you're enjoying working on it as I do

You are quick starter, Mao. very promising!
I got mine yesterday. I will keep on watching your version with great interest.

Great looking already! Keenly await updates!

Great job!

What colours are you using, Maurizio?

Kind regards

Filipe from Brazil

Man, that is one set of eyes. Beautiful work Mao!

Very nice work, its nice for a change to see a face that is painted to look like a Mans Man, rather than the usual over applied makeup look that so many produce these days, .

Great job Maurizio. Following the progress with interest.

Very fine start on this fantastic sculpt.

Marc

many thanks to you

I like how you are painting this bust. I think the sculptor has modelled the eyes a bit big, for my taste.

Military miniatures painted by Eduardo Garcia

Maybe just the magnification of his glasses?

I do not think that the eyes are too big
The sculpture is perhaps not very much like the original, but it is perfect
