Hey Gary, this bust is a nice one to do besides your armor projects. It looks like it's well molded.Are you using acrylics only ? And do you spray them first layers on by airbrush ?
One I'll follow mate !

AG, Bill, thanks fellas! On the bed roll, i base coated with Vallejo then Airbrushed the light blue highlights then dry brushed. The rest is all brush painted. Ok Gents, I practiced the eyes on some cardboard till i felt i could give it a go on Pierre. It took 2 tries to get where it is now and im not touchin it again....eyes DONE! Ive paitned the face highlights. 1st Highlight  2nd  3rd  4th  Next ill start some shadows which is hard for me so wish me luck! Thanks Guys, Gary |

Hi gary, nice work on the backpack and sticks, although i thing the paint brush might be out of scale for the axe handle Face is coming along nicely. slow and steady Paul |
