1/6 Chindit bust conversion to full figure.

[Jimbo]

This is a 1/6 Chindit bust 3D printed from Scale Collectables, converted into a full figure as a commission for a certain young man.
I'm still trying to figure out why I took this on, as it has been a monster of a build & paint, but I did and had to see it through, all finished now apart from some varnish to be applied to the base.
He stands at a full 12 inches high/300mm without his base and took more than a few packs of milliput to sculpt and build.
Painted mostly in oils with some enamels etc

Cheers
Jim

Hi Jim,
I see you are continuing to keep the Milliput company in business.
Your latest work is most prosthetically pleasing.
Superb sculpting, painting and presentation.

Cheers,
Andrew

Awesome work both the sculpt and the paint and it's huge, more a statue than a model soldier!

Wow, that is a fantastic figure and I love what you have done to my base bust. If you can send me some pics against a blank background I will add him into the Scale Collectables April competition

Excellent conversion as usual Jim, pulled it all together faultlessly mate to create a very unique piece.

It may have been a formidable task, but what a great finished product. Very, very cool.

I have only printed a few in 1/6th scale and the bust is large so can only applaud the task that was undertaken

That is utterly brilliant, not just sculpting it but painting brilliantly too- awesome!
It actually puts me in mind of Bill Hearn's work from ages ago
