ta Paul i have been trying to get that for ages, the hobby shop still dose not have it in,

wow that is so great lov it, he looks to be oldish, and some what not happy ,

if you dont mind me saying i think he could look a bit more meaner, or unpleasant , so you go but need a second look

used the faces to say what im getting att

 

[Guest]

I used to be a medium but now m a XXXL

Glad to see your getting ahead with your work.

Truly enjoyable..... watching it all develop

Great work Paul, he is looking very good

 

[Guest]

Thanks Moni, i was aiming for a Kingly, worldy wise, battle hardened kind of face

bit like old grumpy chops here from that well know, historically correct film Braveheart

Harry thanks for looking in and yer jokes are worse than mine

Joe always a pleasure having you drop in from the other side of the world, neighbours with Moni

 

[monica]

thats the type you need Paul , i would not like to make him angry , lol,

see his eye say all , just with that shot,

that was a great film i real enjoyed it , and all made from a little bit off a poem and leggin

 

[Ian M]

He does look a grumpy old git. But never the less still an amazing sculpt so far.

Now you have mentioned that you paint and draw, I would quite like to see some of that.

Do you make a drawing first when you sculpt, or is it straight from the hip.

I to remember that song, was it not Rolf Harris?...

[Guest]

Moni sry have to disagree with you on the film

Many thanks Ian. I havnt done much drawing for ages, i just sculpt from my head and develope it as it goes. And yes it was rolf harris.

Thanks for dropping in Si, I beleive you have a bust to do

 

[Guest]

Fantabydoshiuos....... that is Celt for blindingly good.

I watched Bill Horans videos on utube he may well be prolific but I reckon you just may have the edge for detail.

 

[monica]

wow he is coming along fantastic,like how he looks unhappy and not so much off a nice chap in a bad mood,

 

[Guest]

Terrific work Paul

[Guest]

Excellent results Paul, another outstanding piece of art.

Any reason to use a different material to detail the sword?

Francesco

 

[Guest]

Outstanding can I paint for you? Just joking I could'nt do it justice, I'm about to give sculpting a go just because of the cost of the busts I want any tips for a first attempt?

[Guest]
