WIP 1st british airborne buste

[Airkid]

I'm late on parade with this thread Martin You have made an excellent job of the Denison and the face (I love the ginger stubble!). My only nit-pick - the Newey zipper on the smock is/was brass, including the tag. Quality work - your skills are noticeably improving with each project

Thanks Phil and Henk, I manage to add the wing (not the best but good enough).

I'll show the paints later

Excellent Martin - another fine piece for the cabinet! I think it's time I dug out another bust (just got to get a couple of 1/48 aircraft commission jobs finished and my airbrush is acting up)

Well done. And I like the basing as well.

Hi Martin

Those pouches and the rope looks great ...texture work looks the tops ...again the camo really sings quality

Agree with Henk ref using putty for the wings

Pleasure to see your artwork

Happy benchtime

I used this colours for the uniform. For the camo i mixed the reflective green or Brown (burn umber with burn cad red) with the khaki for a more fade-out effect.

All the shades where done with royal purple and black. The highlights mostly with buff or a light flesh colour

Lovely piece of work. The Camo on the Denison smock is very impressive and great detail/texture work particularly on the rope.

Excellent work Martin, like what you have done with this bust.

It is a fantastic piece of work, and I have saved it as a reference for my own upcoming para projects, but I must say, i do not like the para wings. They are the wrong shape, and the wrong colours.

Wow, this is looking awesome, but I'm having flashbacks of the Denn\ison smock, ! Incredible work, Martin.

Hi Martín

The flesh certainly has more life now , good sometimes to revisit!

Still can't get over the camo ...like Henk keeping this for ref !

Couple of pics of original wings if I may
