Morning Peter

Well done and auburn too!

What palette did you use for the auburn hair?

What will your first re-do be?

Looking like a dull day all round but warm and wet too!

Saharan air flowing up from the South for a few days, so much for a White Christmas?

I am off to have my dressing removed and a wound review today.

It has been very painful since the op, and has really limited my mobility, patience and prompted a general increase in grumpiness!

Anna has refrained from attempted murder, so far!

Hopefully you will have a good start on your recycling and getting your next project under way?

Have a good day

Regards

Steve H

Morning Steve

Sounds like you've every reason to be grumpy. I hope the wound review goes OK.

I don't know what to make of this one. It turned out very differently from how I imagined, but after staring at it for hours, I can't see how I could have done it any other way. The hair is based on Vallejo Red Leather, lightly brushed over a base of black brown, and lightened for the highlights with the addition of white.

I'll post my attempt at a re-do. It will be a 200mm Verlinden Vietnam figure cut down into a bust.

Nice result Mr Day. Glad to see it all came good in the end. Wonderful work.
