I spent 8 years up in faslane (the coldest place know to man) and never went purple, just saying.
I spent about half that time and went a bit blue but never purple.... and moaned like ****! I still have the mental scars.

Great work Steve,Thanks guys I might try a couple of light passes of purple/blue on the flesh Richie thanks. Heh interesting a Canadian says the snow is right and Scotsman disagrees tough call this
Steve
You are moving forward everytime you pick up your brushes.
I like the subject of this bust and my thoughts, for what they are worth, are that less is more effective where ice and snow are concerned.
Cheers Mate and good work,
Keith
Oh yes, as you know I have a thing about Navy Blue
........... for me you are on the moneyCheers mate. I was tempted to put some icicles on the cap peakLooks well Steve, good call adding the snow.

Excellent! My only suggestion would be to make the coat and hat look a bit damp or even wet in places. Snow melting and even ice... Could that be done by applying some semi-gloss clear in places? Obviously I'm not a painter, so what do I know? Feel free to ignore this if you don't agree.
All the best,
Dan

Damn, what a distressing story. Bad enough to be out in such a inhospitable environment let alone being sought out by the enemy. Your bust looks great and I commend you for giving tribute to these men.

Cheers Dan I did think about it but it's one of those effects that might go badly wrong so I'm saying he'd just walked back into the bridge after being outside and it hasn't melted yet 
I haven't forgotten your figure mate honest just waiting for the muse to strike on it. Thanks Joe much appreciated

Yes Helm, what is more Clarkson (in my opinion) presented it well showing that he can hold his own when the subject matter requires it ... and yes I am a Top Gear fan ,
,Steve I think you and Steve Leadly have done a great job with this figure. Steve (Valiant) great job getting the Duffle coat right. Spent years looking at my dads bridge coat and thats just about right. I was lucky, you dont need a bridge coat in the engine room!
No more snow Steve, bridge wings tend to deflect most rain and snow above the bridge if you are steaming (ships speed in case you think otherwise). Also watchkeepers tend to be close to edge of bridge wing so not too much snow on front of coat.
Lovely job by you both.

Thanks Steve, Dad spent some 5 years on convoys, never saw his duffle coat then but got used to it over the years when he came home and we were both home at the same time.
He even used his last Bridge duffle coat after he retired, walking the dog. A well used coat.
