Barrie I like what you have done so far.

Funky50 and Pedro, thank you both for your comments.
Got some more done, main tunic colour is on with some pre shading done.
Main colour for the tartan plaid also on with some highlighting/shading done before attempting the tartan
Thought i was done with the medals, but the camera dont lie. Some touching up needed with them.


As usual, all c+c's welcome

Barrie.

Just seen this bust which is a cracking model and great painting. I'm just finishing off one of the Grieves Guardsman busts from Grahams range unfortunately not up to this standard.

Hi Barrie,
Nice to see your picking up the brushes again mate.

This looks excellent.

[BarrieHynd]

Gordon, thanks for the compliment but still a long way to go. Started the shading on the tunic last night. Got any tips for highlighting red?
Hi Grant, thanks for looking in buddy and glad you like it so far. Am enjoying getting back into things.

Barrie, discrete application of "flesh" works well to highlight the red tunic...

Mr Grieve was judging at Euro and buying a uniform reference book. Perhaps he is due to start sculpting again.................

Hi Barrie,
Absolutely lovely, I hope not speaking out of turn but wanted to publicly thank Barrie as he has kindly allowed me to use a couple of images when completed for the box art and instructions.
I think this is a superb, clean, crisp piece of painting and consider myself very fortunate to be able to use this, it really does show David's and Barries skill to the full and absolutely compliments the sculpt.
Now I had better get some in stock ))
Very best wishes Barrie

[Ventress]

Brilliant rendition of a superb bust.

Brilliant rendition of a superb bust.

Thank you for that ventress,just hope it all turns out ok in the end.

Only got a wee bit done this week. As said before, i was concentrating on the tunic (reason for the dark background in the pis) but didn't want to get too carried away as it's a dress uniform and not one worn out in the field so to speak.
Let me know what you all think, good or bad, Barrie.

 

[Ventress]

Dont think "bad" will be one of the words being used.

 

[Gra30]

Hi Barrie,
SUPERB, I love it
I echo ventress, there is nothing bad about this
Best wishes
Gra
Ps will shoot you an email later mate

 

[BarrieHynd]

Got this one almost done, next few days and i should be able to say its's complete.
Been working on the tartan and it is now 95% done. Just another couple of black "tram lines" and then matt it all down.
Just got to work on the photography side of things now.

As always, all c+c's welcome,
Barrie.

 

[Gellso]

Looks great Barrie..nice tones and very clean lines.
Photos look great btw

Hi Barrie,

A superb job. I will be using this to help me when i get started on my copy of the figure.

If you haven't already made your trip to Balhousie, it may be worth getting access to a cross belt to double cheque that the crown of the badge on the plate doesn't have red enamel behind it... I know the officers Cap badges didn't... but i have a sneaky feeling the cross plate badge did... could well be wrong though as it's been a looong time since i wore one.

Cheers,

James
