WIP Captain, RN, Antarctic, 1912

[valiant]

Hi guys,

Some progress pics of my experiment with monochrome. Still a load to do and needs a suitable base, but it's heading roughly in the right direction! I will post more pics when it is based up.

Painted in acrylics, with sculpt by me!

Thanks for looking in,

Steve

 

[Dan Morton]

All the best,
Dan

It makes me cold looking at him! Excellent work, and your sculpt is brilliant.

Thanks Scotty

Ive got a length of aluminium bar and a chunk of frosted acrylic to mount it on to keep the monochrome theme...

Hey Steve,
He definitely doesn't look like he's on a summer vacation . Like the colours, gives the required effect, well done.
Cheers
Chris.

Cheers Chris -the whole thing is painted in multiple greys only, with white for highlights - A cop-out really, as I had little reference to the actual colours!

Not a cop-out it's what you do to get the required effects Steve, no rules really. Again a well executed piece.

Very well painted and a super sculpt.

It's definitely not a cop out,as i painted a 90mm Knight Templar, all in different tones of greys ,and it was received well.
There's no right way or wrong way,just your way,and don't be concerned what other people may think.
I for one like it.

This is very good. The grey tones fit very well for the subject and definitely not a cop out.

Great sculpting Steve and a good choice to go with the gray tones , works well.

Cheers Ken

Excellent piece of sculpting, and your use of monochrome is superbly evocative.
Very well done.

Nice bit of sculpting and evocative painting. Truly looks like he's cold, must be the monochrome painting. Very nice.
