Wow wow wow!! Winnie is looking exactly how he should do!! I like the subtle highlights and shadows you have achieved and the look of "elderly" eyes is top notch mate! Might be time for me to scale up a little and try a bust out myself one of these days  Keep up the good work mate and get that cigar in between his chops! Cheers, Shay |

I´ll second what Shay wrote, this Bust makes me want to paint or sculpt a Bust, too! There are many possibilities; i am not so the Bust fan, but heck, what I see here wets the appetite!

Nicusi, thanks ! For the flesh tones I mixed zinc white, yellow ocre, flesh ocre, burnt sienna and a bit of ultramarine blue. I use the tones of my own hand as a guide for the skin tones. Can you believe it, I brush paint on my own hand !!! It doesn't hurt, luckily ! Generally I use more ultramarine blue in the shadowed flesh tones.
Frank, this is my second bust project, I'm more into rusty armor. This is something different and a challenge too.
I'd say, purchase a nice one too and paint along with us !
Shay fella, with your figure painting skills you are the man for a 1/9 scale bust project !
For the old skin effect and the elderly eyes I simply have to take a look in the mirror (damn I hate that mirror !).
Desertrat, thanks mate !
Andy man I hope it looks better by the update. It's up to you to decide, I'm glad you like it so far.
I like to use very thin paint, because it's transparent and it adds depth in the flesh.

Yeah, I will paint a Bust, definitly. And when I have to sculpt it sometimes... I had the idea of a Predalien Bust in 1:6 scale some time back, would be an interesting subject. When I find the time to sculpt it. Till then, maybe a Young Bust could do it, they have some fantastic WWII busts... Maybe Shay et moi could do a duell in this theme somehow.

Thanks Luigi ! I'm glad you like this one. That would be awesome Frank ! In February I will start a duell bust painting project with TRM and Deafpanzer. I applied more highlights and shadows. Eyes were finished with a lick of gloss. A lot more to do, we keep rolling Winston !  Best regards ! AG. |

Guy, looks better and better! Watching your next steps, definitely one of my favorite topics.
Some duel bust painting, ha? Still accepting partners? But I don't have in my stash another 1:10 busts, only smaller, 1:12.

Armorguy, cool idea! I could look if it fits and click me in. Or we manage several builds, should be fun! Btw, if I haven´t mentioned it, your flesh colours are AMAZING! I must try the mixture you have made myself, looks extremely well!!

Maatje!!!
If you have his skin tones based on yours...let's not even go there hehe!
Absolutely fantastic Guy, you have approached this bust in the same way you master A/V...nothing but mutual respect brother!!

Thanks guys ! If there's one ideal bust for a beginning figure painter, it must be this one. With still some brush fiddling to do, Winnie couldn't resist a smoke any longer...  Best regards ! AG. |

Armorguy, this is truely outstanding and absolute realistic. What I love beside those skintones is the cigar, man, you nailed it in a way beyond belief. Looks like a real person in scale 1:1. I am jealous so to say, top top work!!!

It's a little freaky, actually.  It's like a living person.....decapitated. Please tell me he will be reunited with his body some time soon. |

Flesh tones are feathered nicely giving a smooth transition, Bravo! And, that glint in the eyes, beautifully done AG. Ruck On!
