discussion 200mm Imperial Guard Bust

[SteveH]

Morning Peter

Another superb finish, well done, and the Grenadier next?

Has it arrived yet?

Another bright one, with all the red.

Should be another hot one, but started grey here.

Another day staring at the screen, though I will be calling our IT support, in Poland, to see how the reactivation is progressing.

Enjoy the next victim

Have a good day

Regards

Steve H

Morning Steve

I ordered the grenadier, but got this instead, so there will be no grenadier. I fancy something a bit simpler next; perhaps a Verlinden with a new head?

Enjoy watching the system reactivate....

Peter.

You've done a wonderful job on a super sculpt - quite magnificent!
Obviously I have a more personal interest in the subject matter and that Charleville musket is a tour de force!
And a useful inspiration......wait until you see the blob of plastic I've got to work with on the Airfix Grenadier.
Top Job once again, Mr Day!

Thank you Neal. It was a great sculpt and therefore very nice to work on. The musket in particular was extremely well done, and although I find painting weapons a bit tedious, it came up reasonably well - can't wait to see what you do with the Airfix version.

Cheers,Peter, no pressure there then!
At 1-10 scale(ish),that must be quite a big chunk of resin or metal. How long is it,exactly?(steady chaps) Mine is 175mm:tongue-out3:

 

[Steve Jones]

Outstanding Peter. There is a lot going on with this bust. Wonderful attention to detail. Must have been a nice sculpt to paint.

Neil - It's 190mm from the butt to the tip of the bayonet - yours is big for it's scale!

Steve - Glad you like him. Nice to paint but also quite demanding.

that's 175mm including the bayonet, sorry forgot to mention that,so it's about right
