I'm taking a break from working on the trench so I thought I would start this cool new bust of Lincoln produced by a brand new company Argudo Miniatures which Last Cavalry just picked up. Perfectly cast in resin and the sculpt is a spot on likeness of Lincoln in 1865. Just starting to work on the basic tones of the face and the beard is blocked in to assist with the contrasts between facial colors - this always helps for some reason!  |

WOW! This is so good! I googled... you are only four and half hours away. Will it be OK for me to come over so you can show me how to paint figures? You are one of those figure painters I admire!

Andy - I use a combination of Vallejo and Andrea acrylics and I have just started using Scale 75 also. Really just what ever color appears to be right to my eye and I mix them together since they are all compatible. I do not have any mix formulas or ratio's - I just keep playing around until I like the colors.
Dogfish - I never use an airbrush on figures, regardless of scale.
Thanks again everyone and more pictures soon,
Dave
