Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae

[Theodoros]

An "Alexandros models" bust, scale about 1/10.
An excellent bust, highly detailed. The large surfaces needed to be painted as metallic and the lion fur were quite demanding, but both gave me a lot of enjoy while I was painting them.

Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Good morning samson ! Usually I am not very-very careful on cleaning a figure; and I know this a fault of mine... Moreover, in this case the bust did n't punish me for my neglect. The reason is that the resin casting was amazing with all the elements clearly visible, without molding lines.

Very good, superb.

Thank you Lissorles !
In this case, to paint the metallic parts, I followed these stages :

1. a dark brown enamel basecoat
2. gold printer's ink all over the base coat
3. dense oil black shadows to the deepest point, diluted indigo blue to the "border" of black
4. general shadowing on the lower parts using a reddish brown oil colour
5. oil pure gold, a bright one, to highlight the upper surfaces (two and more coats)
6. when everything was dried up, I painted all the metallic surface using a thin layer of "reddish" gold.
7. I covered all the metallic surface with a thin coat of satin varnish.

[Soon, I will upload the pictures of the exact colours I have used.]
