WIP Germanic Warrior

[Nap]

Hi Guys,

This has been on my bench for a while floating between various projects now ,its nearly finished!! so not so much a WIP as nearly a WIP!!

Forgot to take the WIP pics due to sorting out Bugle Call Show on the 27th November ..now all done ..thankfully!!

Its of course by H & V , a great sculpt as expected , full of textures all areas a good challenge to do , just the arm and wrist band to do and the nameplate to put on

Hope to get to the bench very soon !!!

Thanks for looking in

I like that a lot. besides being very well painted I think it's a well thought out and designed bust, almost a portrait if that makes sense to anyone but me.

Nice piece Kev.
Don't pretend bugle Call is taking up all your time, you're retired now, and there's no chance Carole will let you anywhere near tools and DIY equipment without the subsequent visits to A&E.

He's looking good there Kev, nice work on the fur, in particular the underside skin of the cloak....but...what!..No medals???
Cheers
Jim
p.s. Have to say I agree with Rob regarding the danger involved if you get hold of DIY tools..........Oops!..there goes another finger!

Hi Guys

Thanks for the comments and complete lack of faith in my DIY ability !...lol....... Perhaps that explains why my modelling tools have vanished !

Rob .......BC ...hard work you try sticking those stamps on letters ! ?....especially after I licked the self adhesive stuff off .....lol.....A&E are always on standby for me

Jimbo ..as for medals ..I have tried to find something but the nearest was a torque which he has on his wrist!

Hope to get this completed very soon

If that's right about hiding your tools, good job brushes are soft at one end but wait, what's about the pointy end. You are doing a very good job with the soft end. The flesh looks great.
A great looking bust.

Cheers Bob thanks for your concern but fear not the pointy ends have been filed down and a rubber protector pushed on it ...just hope I don't eat it!

Hope to get some bench time in today

Thanks for looking in
