Another bust from Mr Nap's clearance sale, this one from Dolman.

Cleaned up and primed

Lovely smooth moulding, and the gloved hand with bino's are in whitemetal and also nicely moulded.

Carefully blocked in the base colours, not forgetting to paint the arm with the uniform colour mix.

I think I may need to give the tunic top a greenish wash for the WW1 colour.

I started with the body first this time to make a change.

That's it for today.

Many thanks Guys, I think a slight green wash should make it better for period, so roll on tomorrow.

Cheers

More progress, repainted the tunic, this time with a bit more green to it, pleased with it now.

Some more detailing and the face painted in my usual Artist's oils, more to this once the oils have dried.

That's it for today and possibly for a couple of days, visitors coming tomorrow.

Thanks Nap, I did think of it but the arm band would have been tricky to paint. The arm has had some doctoring to fit well.
