1/9 Ivan Kozhedub Bust - Hero of the Soviet Union

[Dave Ward]

This is a resin bust from Mitches Military Models, sculpted by Pavol Ovecka.
This is only my second bust.............................

I struggled with the eyes again - I know what I want to do, but I can't get my hands to do it. Partly oils, partly acrylics.............

It looks rough, but I kinda like it. Does not pretend to be "like alive" and it should not. After all, every figure is a piece of resin or metal.

Not bad for a second bust Dave.
You might find my technique helpful for painting faces.

It's all a matter of finding a method that you're comfortable with.
As for eyes, PF's 'Articles' section has a very useful chart showing all the stages.
