Aztec

[Banjer]

My take on this fabulous sculpt by Roberto Chaudon. As supplied there is a gap in the inner ring of feathers. This did not look right to my eyes so I sculpted some in Duro and added them in the gap.
Apologies for the photo quality. The facial tones are much better blended in real life.

Thanks for looking. Bill

Cracking work and a lovely paint mix (whatever it was?) for the aqua blue/turquoise coloured feathers.

Thanks Gary,
I wrote down the mix for the turquoise on the animal skin backing but not for the feathers,

Thanks for your kind words Graham, Keith, Gary and Mobo.

Hi Bill

Great to see your pieces and one we don't see that often

Nice painting and that headdress is impressive to say the least ....a lot to paint

Always good to see your artwork

Why not support our new FOTM by entering something in the class of your choice , there's also a Vignette & Diorama comp we run

Thanks for sharing

Look forward to more

Happy benchtime

That has come out very well Bill. It's an impressive bust with probably quite a few colour options. Your colour choices are nicely balanced.

Impressive looking piece Bill....Love the color selection. Lucky you didn't break any of those feathers......or did you?...........1/10 scale?

Thanks Wayne,
No breakages on this one and the pieces fit together beautifully, I wholeheartedly recommend this bust. It is listed as 1/8th scale.
