    Che.

    Thanks everyone...I went back and added more gold to the watch having seen the photos on the screen.I also put some gloss on the watch screen and the eyeballs.....in terms of where the watch goes see below...I think that’s about it in terms of painting...just got to get him on a plinth and it’s...

    Che.

    Thanks again chaps! I guess the lesson here is never to say nearly finished and it’s always the little things that take up most of the time...due to the prominence of the watch on the figure I’ve just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get it right...this is going to have to do...

    Che.

    Sorry about the extreme close up... but as I said to Peter Day earlier, there’s a nagging feeling when something isn’t quite right ...so I’ve made some very small adjustments to the eyes and feel much better about it! Thanks Jason

    Che.

    Busy day home schooling ...so just the hat and hair done! I’ve darkened the eyes slightly as he was a bit “stare-y” so I’m a bit happier with it ... and thinned out the beard slightly.... ..even so .. nearly finished!!! Jason

    Che.

    Hi all, I’ve made a start on another bust and this time it’s a 1/10 of Che Guevara by Life miniatures. It’s a fairly simple figure with only two parts and it comes with a painting guide which I have used for reference rather than anything else as I just can’t grasp the technique they promote...

    Joker!

    Hi all... this is about done now... complete with drool although I’m still not sure about it.... it looks better in reality and might be better without the harsh light so I will take another look in daylight...I had real trouble trying to put some lettering on The straight jacket...I even tried...

    Joker!

    Thanks Scottie! More shading and fading to do ... but here’s progress to date... I’ve been experimenting with try to get some water effects and / or glue to stick to a length of clear thread as depending how it looks I m thinking of having the joker drooling at the mouth... might work out or...

    Joker!

    I will one down the lighter shade on the jacket with a darker wash but this is where I’m leaving it for today. Thanks Jason

    Joker!

    Hi all, Hope everyone’s well... I’ve made a start on another bust which like my last one has something of the comic book villain about him. The figure is by Altores Studios and is called “Restless patient” and is in a completely different colour scheme to the one I have chosen. To me he is...

    Tiger Commander.

    Tiger Commander.

    The highlights for me were the cuff title which I enjoyed and much more simply just the wires running from the headphones... The light here is a bit harsh so I will take some daylight pics tomorrow and post them. Hope you approve and thanks for looking in, Jason

    Tiger Commander.

    Hi all Hope everyone is well... I’m calling this one just about done... a really quick finish for me as usually I seem to take forever to get something finished. The high plinth proved essential in my eyes as otherwise all the detail was lost as the figure leans forward...

    Tiger Commander.

    Thanks all...much appreciated and very helpful as well... Still a bit more detailing to do but here is the cupola at close of play today... I think I may have mentioned earlier in the thread that the figure is leaning out of the cupola and hence is facing downwards so on a low base much of the...

    Tiger Commander.

    Many thanks Steve J and Steve H... Just reporting a bit of progress on the cupola and raising a couple of questions ( as I said armours not really my thing!) 1... in terms of chipping, would that largely be the base colour..ie the desert yellow where the camo has worn off? 2. What colour would...

    Tiger Commander.

    Thanks guys... very much appreciated!! The main torso is just about done now although as the figure leans forward much of the detail will be lost inside the Tiger cupola... The head is also facing downwards so that’s not particularly prominent either...I did have a fairly low base for this but I...

    Tiger Commander.

    Thanks Peter... Not sure if I’ve managed to pull it off but I’m reasonably happy with my attempt so it’s probably going to stay on.... the white should be dampened down when I get to shade and highlight the rest of the arm... Thanks Jason

    Tiger Commander.

    Cheers chaps.... thank you very much... Just dry fitted the head to get a look at what it should come out like. Next it’s onto the left arm and the cuff title which may or may not come into being...the LAH cuff title is in a rather ornate script which could well prove beyond my...
