Excellent bust.

Yeah, c'mon Kev. I know he's got no medals but there is a lot to get your teeth into. The buckskin jacket would be an interesting exercise. We watch and wait....

Yes, very nice bust!

But why do they do busts in 1/12 scale, and not 1/10, or better yet 1/9, as most busts?


Cheers!

I think, this pic was Offos template...:



Well done Pavol, as ever!

Hi Guys

You obviously haven't seen how many I have here waiting , basecoated , eyes done etc etc ....but it's very tempting

The megaphone will be a challenge to do as well as buckskin ....texture time

Would like to see the actual resin but Offo has done a really good sculpt on this

A strong release and great artwork as well , would look great next to the FeR Custer bust

Hello to all,

Excellent sculpt again from Offo, one of the best Bust sculptors around, in my opinion. I have a lot of his works.

I have 2 problems with what I see though, the hat looks like it has been glued on squint? and at a guess looking at pictures of the real man, the bust should have been painted with brown eyes?
This will probably go on my Xmas list.

Michael.

I will paint one of these, ole Buffalo Bill holds a place in my heart. My hometown is Leclaire Iowa where Buffalo Bill also grew up when he was a lad. I hunted and fished and roamed the same areas he did (but that didn't occur to me until I was older). The Elementary School I attended is named William F. Cody Elementary School. Lol. His home was about a block from mine. Good memories in the bust for me.
