Captain Eddie Rickenbacker; Dolman Miniatures, 1/10 scale bust.

I bought this from Kevin (Nap) back in April at the Poole Vikings Show.
It's a nice bust, which maintained my sanity while working on the Andrea Centurion.
Painting is my usual oils over enamels , or straight enamels, with some acrylics (Darkstar Molten Metals) which I used for the buttons.

Really nice work. I had saved the open box review of this bust as a favorite and was actually looking at it earlier today before seeing your completed version. You did it justice.

Very nice Andrew. The bust is a good starting point as it actually looks like Rickenbacker and you've captured his likeness really well. Well done!

Thank you Nigel.
These 3D sculpts do achieve extremely good likenesses.
However, I still prefer the excellent hand sculpts that we regularly see on PF (eg. Chris's 'stoffy01' Dad's Army busts).

Cheers,
