Tanks, Nap. I'm going to redo the eyes, they're too buggy for me now.

Steve, don't get to bogged down in the super tiny detail. Digital imaging has been a fantastic tool to share and show our work with likeminded souls across the globe, but the ability to zoom in to inhuman closeness is showing even the most minute error or omission in enormous detail. None of it would be visible when viewing the piece in real life.
Your faces in 54mm are looking good. Slightly overdone shadows, to account for the scale, but not in a cartoonish way.
Looking forward to more..

Thanks, Stevo!
Thanks, Henk.
I know what you're saying Henk, but in this Sport, this is the only way "you" will ever see these figures. So, we have to play to the camera, can't change that.

Head #3 and Clean Up on Bag Piper
Figure #3 was a lot more fun than the last two. Reason being, I’m in the slot and I see improvements in the skin tones and blending. This is the main reason I prefer to keep the momentum going when doing a set of faces. I don’t have to go back and relearn whatever sequence and techniques were followed in the past. I know, it sounds strange, but this Sport is seasonal for me, can’t get around that.
I’ll do any touch-ups in the next few days after the oils set up, but I think #3 is good to go for now.
Of course, that little fuzzy has to be hanging off his lip, HA! Never fails, does it?
The Bag Piper needed a bit of reworking, especially that cauliflower left ear. I caught that after taking the initial photos. The nice thing about this resin set is that the resin is not super stiff and can be reworked easily. I also went back over the left eye and reduced the size of the iris, but now the right eye looks too big, HA! I’ll get to that one eventually as well.
Outside work has already started, so I’m trying to keep the momentum going as long as I can, wish me luck.
Thanks for watching and more to follow. Cheers, Ski.

Thanks, Kevin.
Ya, you really don't want to know how long the list is. I spoke with my Boss, the pretty little woman, and we both agreed that work till noon or 1PM would suffice on a daily basis, weather permitting, so bunker time should still be a go! Keeping animals and 5 acres in a fire zone is constant maintenance, but we love it.

Dynamic Duo
The standard bearer and one of the riflemen have been painted over the past week as time permitted. The standard bearer’s eye sockets had to be cleaned out and refilled with Tester’s tube putty. Fortunately, the resin is soft enough to work small areas without destroying larger sections. This is my third time reshaping a set of eyes, but it’s not a big deal. These figures are incredibly well detailed, but even then, some areas like the eye sockets may need a bit of clean-up after the primer coat, much easier to identify.
It took me awhile to get the correct tones around the rifleman’s eyes, he was giving me a hard time, lol. I may do a little more touch-up, but for now, he’s ok. The standard bearer was a smooth process, no major issues.
As long as I can sneak into the bunker at least a few days a week, I should be getting to the tartans in short order.
Thanks for watching. Cheers, Ski.
