The Devil of Ramadi

The Devil of Ramadi - American Sniper - this bust of US Navy SEAL Chris Kyle arguably looks more like actor, Bradley Cooper, who played Kyle in the move. This is a recent release from Nuts Planet, and was painted in oils and acrylics.

You did a good job on the Multicam camo pattern. It is good to see that where the sleeve is rolled up that the underside of the cloth is shown as it would actually look.

Awesome job.

Cheers,
James

Lovely work on the camouflage Kurt and great attention to detail re the sleeve turnbacks. Great looking piece all round.

That’s beast of a bust Kurt!
Liking detail & complementary effect of base with figure tones.

Thanks, James,
Multicam is indeed a challenge to paint. Fortunately, I had a jacket that I had purchased from a military surplus store a few years ago. That was a great assist in painting this one.

Thanks for those kind words, Mobo, Neal and Mike. The rifle is huge with the suppressor attached - about 14cm long.
