Hi there mate. Good luck with this one. Would like to see this finished. Is the left pinned and glued already? I am seeing a small gap there. Can i go ahead and suggest Tamiya's liquid glue to fix such small gaps.
All the best man.
Cheers
Osman

Hi osman! I removed it, ill'paint separately, it should be easy, then i'll fill the gap

Hope to do a good job, thanks

Thank you all!

Yesterday i worked on it, i painted the flesh base and the eyes (i have to correct the right one) and gave the red base, to try the red tone (i used andrea this time instead of vallejo), it looks like glossy but it's the picture







a presto con news

So far so good, nice and crisp isn't it

Thank you!! this evening i'll work on lights and shadows on the face, hope to do a good job!

 

[sherman93]

i just painted the eyes again, what do you think about them?

and sorry for the bad quality of the pic

I always loved Latorre figures and this is one of the best. You've made a good start on this. Look forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

[sherman93]

Thank you!!!! This is only my 8th figure, so i still need more practise but i'll try to do my best!!

 

[DancingShaman]

So far so good mate. If it is a focusing issue, maybe a steady hand in the background of the figure might help.
Keep up the great work.
Osman

[sherman93]

Thank you osman!! I'll try to take better pictures.. My camera isn't so good..

Ciao robertoooo con calma procedo!!

 

[ChaosCossack]

Good start. This is a really nice figure, one I'd like to do myself. Latorre puts out a well sculpted and cast product.

Following with interest

Hi all! yesterday i worked on highlights on the face (not finished yet, i'll finish them after shadows in extreme points), maybe today i'll work on shadows and do some glazes of red and other colours to "give life" to the face

i unpainted the fiure before this and started it again, because of the eyes..so instead of applying layers on layers of colour i started it again

here the pictures (of a bad quality unfortunately) of all the steps









and these, taken this morning with more light

 

[sherman93]

Shadows done!!

Now beard and hair!!

After being at the barber's he is proud to show you his new haircut

Looking good mate, I'd recommend that barber and the painter!
