brought this chap with me on my holidays,been on the shelf for a while, so as mixing some oils up for tintin thought I would give his face a go as well, once dry will go over adding more shadows and highlights and colours to his cheeks

Coming on nicely Steve.

A quick question if you don't mind..... He's got a crook on the right side of his mouth. Is that a facial expression or will something be going in there e.g. a pipe?

Keep up the great work.

you know, I thought he looked like someone but couldn't put my finger on it, but your right it's a very good likeness

 

[Steve Brodie]

Nope its just a very thin red layer over the black primer, quite handy though

 

[Steve Brodie]

Painting it has also highlighted a small casting seam, which will need to be dealt with and then touching back in. Its not as white in real life

 

[Steve Brodie]

Started working on the shako; Shadows, highlights and dirt added to the base colour. Also added a base colour to the emblem which is a mix of yellow ochre and Iridescent white, gold is on its way - good old Amazon Prime;

Got matt varnish onto his shako and neck curtain, have nlocked in the reds and started on the 'cross' straps, once the oils have dried a bit will add more white to the edges and then 'torn' marks. Leather belt has also been started;
