Glad you like it, lads!
Everything is finished now! So, let me share the last steps of the bust.
First of all, I noticed that the lower part of the coat needed a bit more of texture to go well with the rest. I simply applied a bit of Khaki and Basic skintone as usual, with the tip of the brush in the highlights areas:
Just one of those needed adjustments on any painting process
.
Let's go with the reds.
The palette is quite simple:
From left to right, Chaos Black (Citadel), Burnt cadmiun red, English Uniform, Tanned Flesh (Citadel) and Blood Red (Citadel)
First of all, I painted the fasteners and the hat star with a mix of Black + Burnt Cadmiun Red:
I started with the fasteners. I decided to simulate a seam in them so they have a bit more detail. I marked it's shadow with black and added a highlight with pure Burnt Cadmiun Red:
Then, I added some "texture" effect in the usual way with English Uniform and Tanned Flesh. To finish, a wash with Blood Red (very thinned) to get back the reddish colour and blend all tones:
The same goes for the other two pieces:
The process is the same in the star:

Now it's the turn of the emblem. It isn't the usual hammer and sickle, but the hammer and plowshare, an early bolshevik symbol that soon evolved to the other one everyone knows today. The tone should be a bright red. This is the palette:
From left to right, Chaos black, Burnt Cadmiun Red and Blood Red.
The background of the emblem with a base of Burnt Cadmiun red and a highlight of Blood red:
The star ready for the gold metallic tones:
For the gold tone, I decided a palette of acrylics:
From left to right, Tin Bitz (Citadel), Glorious Gold (Game Colour), Polished Gold (Game Colour) and Gloss Varnish (Game Colour). At the same time I do the golden details of the emblem, I also paint the buttons of the budenovka.
First, a coat of Tin Bitz:
And then, highlights with Glorious gold and Polished gold. Two coats of gloss varnish and we are done (this emblems are enameled, so they have to shine):
The painting is completed. For the base, I keeped a very special decoration, an original soviet hat emblem:
From left to right, Chaos black, Burnt Cadmiun Red and Blood Red.

Grandiose finish of this breathtaking SBS!
My biggest compliments, Fernando. You did a wonderful job on this fine kit. Lots of inspiration for me and I will surely try some of your hints soon, although I am an oil painter. Thank you so much for taking your precious time to show us the way you paint.
Only one question at the end. I still didn´t capture how to hell you achieve such a clean and smooth transitions. My friend told me, that you have to work with very thinned paints, is this it?
best regards,
R.L.

Well. This thing comes from the fact that my brushstrokes have always been worse than the average. I've seen people like my friends Raúl García Latorre or Pepe Gallardo paint the full highlights of an area in three touches with the brush, but it's not my case. In consecuence, I always tend to blend every bit of paint I apply, so sometimes I achieve a smoother effect than usual.
Hope it helps.
Regards and Merry Christmas!
