Excellent, superb work over a not easy to treat wrinkled face. Top level all over the bust.

Lovely painting set off on a superb base.

Wonderful and as Keith says, the high quality base elevates the piece to the next level.

Excellent work, very well done indeed.

Thanks guys. Glad you like the presentation. I got the base from S3 in Russia, before the war started, so that's clearly off the table for the immediate future. But I really liked the brass plinth, which I got from El Greco Miniatures. Can't recommend that enough, and I will be ordering more of those for sure.

Excellent work! I really like the smooth and accurate finish. Just great.

Totally agree , fine painting on the aguilette and lacing

What's the mix for that and the lace ?

Thanks Nap. The mix for the aguilette was an undercoat of Vallejo acrylic dark red and scarlet, and then Cadmium Red oils, with a little Lamp Black for shadows. The lace was really very straight forward; again Vallejo black grey was used as a base, and then I went almost pure Titanium white (the slightest hint of black to make a very light grey/off white) and painstakingly brushed/dry brushed that on to show the white lace.

Very crisp painting and I like the brass part as well

 

[Steve Ski]

Sheesh, this is nice! The base and pedistol really compliment this work of art, Glen. The precision of the piping is astounding!!!

 

[Cannonball]

Great job Glen. Really smooth finish and the uniform colour and lace are particularly nice.
