That is superb.Looks like a real person to me (apart from the fact most of his body is missing!).Superb painting.

 

[Tommy]

Thanks Dave!

It does indeed look like a real person: Clint Eastwood springs to mind! lol

Tommy that is fantastic, may one ask how long you have been doing figures and busts? I get the idea that you are no new comer to the field!

[Tommy]

Thanks Ian,

I have been making figures and bust for about 5 years.

I'm also building other stuff mostly WWII German vehicles in scale 1/35.

All in all I have been building with longer and shorter breaks for maybe 10-15 years.

Hi Tommy

It's great to have a figure painter on board.

I can tell this is the Young Miniatures bust, very nicely painted - the camo and the ammo belt are especially good.

Cheers

[Tommy]

Thank you all very much!

And yes Paul, this is a sculpt by Young B Song.

What did you paint the brass cartiridges with may I ask?

I did mix my own color for that, if I remember correctly I used old gold + black + cavalry red for the cartridges.

And for the bullets did I use gold + black. I'm sorry but I do not remember the paint ratio, I mix my paint as I go along I do not follow any predefined paint ratio chart.

 

[Guest]

A very nice figure you have painted there Tommy, thanks for sharing looks great!

Well done again Tommy. You have a real talent for figure painting. I am impressed and a bit envious.

Maybe you would consider doing a build blog to share your expertise and techniques with we lesser mortals who stuggle with figures. I usually resort to hiding them in a cockpit.

It's a little late Tommy but that is out of this world bud, outstanding. Got to agree with Ian too, looks like Clint Eastwood. Five stars

Have fun, John
