    Long Island Show Update

    I had every intention of attending this year and have been looking forward to it for months. However events beyond my control require my presence in Arizona over the next few weeks. Sad I will miss seeing everyone. Believe me I would much rather be there than taking care of what I have to in...

    El Greco Laconian Hoplite - Completed

    Well, he is done. After more tweaking of the helmet details, crest, beard, cloth and chest hair he is complete. I may well tweak some more before the Long Island Show comes along in a few weeks but for the most part I am happy with the outcome. I have to say that the pics don't translate my reds...

    Completed El Greco Laconian Bust Completed

    Another bust completed. I was really enthusiastic and inspired I guess, as this one moved along quicker than most projects for me. I may well tweak it a bit between now and the Long Island Show but for all intents and purposes.............. Jim

    WIP Critique Praetorian Tribune, Pegaso 200mm

    Tony, I will follow your progress with great interest. I have one of these on the way and I am planning to do it as a winter project and centerpiece for my collection of Romans. It is too early to tell in the photos how your base tones will work as the color is still very light but I do enjoy...

    Progress on the helmet, crest, cloth and hair can be seen in the pictures above and below. I have put together a small step by step series of photos (see below) showing the process over the past few days to get to this point. As for the hair on his head and chest, I basically filled out his...

    Completed Pegaso Knight Templar Bust

    God I love that quote Ron!! Yes I do love my oils and yes, acrylics are quicker. I have learned how to work with the oils as my preferred medium and I have adapted a number of acrylic style skills to that medium. It does take longer but not as long as you might think and I tend to work on more...

    Pegaso Knight Templar Bust - Completed

    All Done!! So first let's get the name change out of the way. Up to this point the bust was going to be a Hospitaller but in the end he has become a Templar. Fairly straightforward. All the details are completed with the addition of the rope and the helmet strap tail. A bit of touch-up here and...

    Completed Pegaso Knight Templar Bust

    Colin I've been painting in oils for over thirty years so why change now (old dog you know). Curious about the armor, how? or why? Jim

    Completed Pegaso Knight Templar Bust

    My latest completed project is this wonderful bust from Pegaso. Those that have been following his progress on my blog know that I challenged myself to paint the armor using NO metallic paint. To that end, a lot of time went in to getting the light and shadow spectrum just the way I wanted. In...

    El Greco Laconian Hoplite - Flesh and Cloth

    Further progress on the flesh, hair, eyes and a basecoat of color for the cloth. The face received shadow tones of Brown Madder. This has a slightly redder tone than my usual Burnt Umber. This worked well with the cooler flesh tone I had started with. The highlights are Titanium White with a...

    Pegaso Knight Hospitaller Bust - Update #3

    Work proceeds on this bust with the end in sight. I have completed the armor, not a bit of metallic paint to be found on this bust. The leather belt is complete as is the hooded cape. This was a bit of fun as I wanted a faded black cloth with desert dust on it. It started with a brown-black base...

    El Greco Laconian Hoplite - Starting the Flesh

    As I said before, I have a lot of projects on the fire these days. This great bust from El Greco was on my want list for quite awhile and after recently purchasing it I put it high on my "to do" list. It has been sitting primed, on my bench for a month so last Sunday night I decided to start on...

    WIP Critique Imperial Guard 200mm Bust CGS Military Figures

    Beautiful Start!! I have plans to paint one of these as it is one of the best bust sculpts I have seen in some time ( and I don't usually do Napoleonics these days). It has that certain something that sets it apart from other kits. I will follow your progress with great anticipation and...

    Something New - The Battle of Strasbourg 357 AD

    My next little Roman project uses two Soldiers kits sculpted by Laruccia. The scene depicts two combatants at the Battle of Strasbourg (Argentoratum) in 357AD. The foot figure is SR49 a Roman Infantry Officer and the mounted figure is SR-63 a Roman Cataphract (Scola Scutariorum Clibanariorum)...
