Captain, Royal Irish Rifles 1898. Micks Micks Bust

[Viking Bob]

This bust is due for release in mid to late January 2022 from Micks Micks via stormtroopers.co.
Mick very kindly sent me this bust, for me to paint, here is the result.
Painted in Acrylics, oil and inks.

Very nicely painted. I have never understood why with many half figures a pedestal is preferred to a pair of legs...........

Hi Mike Thankyou.
As an aside I understand Mick's Mick's will produce this a 75mm and a 120 mm full figure.

Really splendid work Bob! Nice muted tones for the dark uniform but skilfully done contrast to make all the details pop. Regards Pete

He's a suave looking gent Bob. Dark green and black together are a challenge to get right, but you have nailed it for sure. Must admit I'm tempted with the 75mm figure.

Cheers Phil, I have no idea at present when Mick will bring out the 75mm figure but he will let Pf know when it happens.
