WIP 1/10th Kilgore HD USS Arizona

[Steve Brodie]

Resin bust of a sailor from the USS Arizona with the ships standard (?) flag. Very nicely cast in grey resin arms and head tacked in place with blue tack, no gaps. As usual will be painted in oils over acrylic base coats.

Flesh areas Base costed in acrylics

Got some flesh on him (oils) and been in the dryer overnight. Hair still glossy so not dry yet, Need to work on his pupils , add some red into his cheeks . Tone in his shaved head. Paint his lips and maybe add some more shadows

Barok red (bloody Expensive oil paint) filter applied. Put in the heat box and left to burn off the Turps overnight, can add a few more highlights now;

Calling his head done. Soot/smoke from AK burnt jet engine pigments and affixed in place with Matt varnish spray, hands finished as well need to do his pupils

Hi Nap,
Yes eyes not finished yet, and may try to add dripping water, not sure on the technique for it though.
