WIP 101st Airborne...Nuts Planet Bust

[BigDaddy]

Working on the face... you get the basic idea here. More to do...

Really like the face, quite a likeness!

Must back up a bit, and pass on that the subtle tones and shading on the jacket, webbing and other battle kit are really quite well done!

Cheers
Jamie

Matt,

This coming along nicely. I bought three of these figures one for me and two I will give to family members for Christmas presents. I have painted one and went crazy painting the jacket, there are so many folds and wrinkles. I probably painted it 4 times now as it was looking like zebra stripes.

I really, really, like your painted jacket. Can I ask if you are done painting it? I am thinking it might be easier to get the look I want, by following your lead and airbrushing it.
Can I make a request? Would you be willing to post a closer picture of the left arm area (either here or on your blog)? That is where I could not let go and kept painting it over and over.

Also the "five o'clock," shadows are so subtle did you stipple that in or was this a non painted black undercoat? I think you nailed the skin tones perfectly!!!

Thanks for sharing your work!

Here is a close up of the left arm, airbrushed base coat, then brush work to define the folds and add some color- I like to add some red brown and brown sand to the basic mix. hard to see in the picture.
The face was painted with a grey primer undercoat.

Dang Matt, that face looks too real, especially the eyes. You sure nailed this one on the money!!

Cheers, Ski.

Looking good Matt! Looks like Dick Winters! You gonna have this done in time for Chicago?

Great Job Matt the facial tones are really great ,as is the uniform following with interest , lovely to see a face painted as a face. ,without this over emphasised highlight and shadow trend which seems to be so very popular these days , looking forward to seeing the finished art work .
Cheers Chris
