Here is a resin kit I bought on line, quite some time ago, from King Kong Model Mansion. And the bust is in 1:6th scale. An excellent casting with very little clean up. THANK YOU! It was a lot of fun to paint. I tried to remember all the shades and colours and tones on the left side of the colour wheel, i.e. Blues, Greens, Yellows. And that was my thinking as I painted this bust, first in acrylics and then a few touched of oil paints. Naturally, critical comments from you fine ladies and gentleman who make up our Planet Figure population. . . are most welcome. Kind regards, The Miami Jayhawk, a.k.a.

Oh my goodness, Dimitris, you are so kind, Sir. I do so appreciate your
encouraging remarks. And as I said that mean GREEN machine was really
a lot of fun to paint. I went on line, of course, and downloaded close up
photos of the Hulk's eyes. And altho I have a lot of trouble painting
eye in the small scales, i.e.1:35th and 54mm, I know that the eyes have
to be right. Or the figure just doesn't look right. Again, thank you
for your most welcomed remarks! Rick Brownlee
 
Great work - brings back memories of the 1970s tv series!

Cheers

Thanks Huw for the kind words. Oh yes, I remember the
1970s well; when my little daughter used to sit in front of
the TV and watch Sesame Street. The Cookie Monster was
my favorite! :). . . Alas, she is now 44 and lives 1,100 miles
away. :( Jayhawker
 
Excellent eyes and green skin tones on this bust.
I particularly like the way you've merged the natural skin tones with the green in the face.
Very well done.

Cheers,
Andrew

Good morning, Andrew: And thank you for your kind words.
Regarding the addition of "natural skin tones" on the green
face, I didn't have that idea in mind at the first. But I was
having so much fun painting the oils over the acrylic base
colours, the idea just kinda' hit me. Also I decided to go a
little further afield and add blue to the hair, as highlights
on the top of his head.
Kind regards, Rick
