Morning Peter
Late start with everything at the moment
Nice head swap and sex change too.
Some good putty work on the scarf and hair, neatly done.
Another super day, today already sunny and 20 C.
The lawn will need mowing, and without a prompt!
Have a good day with your new head, it will be cold tomorrow!
Regards

Hi Steve - I hope things on the Home Front are looking brighter - mowing the lawn without a prompt is a good sign that your spirits are up.
I did a bit more puttying with this last night. More later.....

''Orrrrrl right then!'' *
Here's the new head, which I think is an improvement on the kit version:

This was very nice to paint, though I did have to stop and take a scalpel to the lower eyelids at one point. As mentioned I extended the scarf down to cover the whole neck, which looks more samurai-like. The pony tail just has a base coat on at the moment.
(* Colour-Sergeant Bourne, Zulu).

looking good Peter :smiling3:.
Good looking head....looks like he has my hairstyle....Oh no, here’s Colour Sergeant Bourne again.....”No comedians please”.....
G
Many thanks people.
Tim - At least in C16th Japan I could also have easily adopted that hairstyle - they knew what they were doing those Japanese. Is our man quoting Bourne do you think? with that slightly resigned look: ''Because we're here lad. Nobody else. Just us.''

Probably....great character in the film by the way, also had a very interesting career....as I’m sure you know.

Cheers Monica. The face needs a bit of tweaking, but I'm glad I managed to salvage the best bits of the figure.

A European Samurai, why not!
Good start after the putty work.
The snow is in the Shetlands, hopefully it will stay there too!
I found some Pro Arte brushes in minuscule sizes, in my brush rack in the attic.
They should arrive next week
Its a grey and windy one, but shouldn't stop you having another good day with the paint
Enjoy the day

Hi Peter
Well that sex change head has worked out really well. Shame about the female. In your experience are female heads harder to paint? We certainly don't see that many at shows etc. except perhaps, for well endowed fantasy figures :rolling:

Steve - It's gone very dark and cold here - hopefully no snow. Thanks re the brushes - much appreciated. I hope things at home are OK.
Jim - Yes a real shame about the kit head. There are very few realistic female figures out there, and as you say, most that you do see are either stupidly enhanced to downright pornographic. I do find female faces harder to paint, as you can't model the jaw with five-o'clock shadow.
