Treasure Island

MalcC · Jan 28, 2025

It's been quite a journey, a very enjoyable one at that, even though it threw a few challenges at me.
It's finally complete, and I have to say I'm quite happy with the result, I know there's areas that I would have liked to have been done better,
but that's me being my own worst critic.

Please click on the thumbnail for a larger image.

Up next on the Bench, Aleaxandros's 75mm white metal Napoleon.

Wow Malc that's an epic piece and has been an enjoyable thread to follow. Really looking forward to seeing it on Saturday because I'm sure it will be better in the flesh.

Cheers Simon

Hi Melanie.

I've had the Banksia pod around for a while, I had intended to use it for something else, but thought
it suited this bust very well.
Think I have another piece laying around.....somewhere.

Lovely job , I love those teeth!

NigelR · Jan 30, 2025

Fantastic, that has turned out really well. I like the addition of the verdigris on the telescope. It was definitely worth pushing through the challenges you encountered on the way, this is a great piece.

Thanks Nigel.

I can't take credit for the verdigris, that was Simon's idea.
It also goes to show how good the forum is, with the input and advice from other members.

Malc, you gotta love how this turned out, Amigo. You pulled out all the stops on this beauty. The flesh work is awesome on both, and the rest is incredibly well done, brushed to perfection. Ruck Over, Bby!
