Completed Corporal John Shaw (2nd Life Guards 1815)

[John Belcher]

Interesting that you started his face while the sculpt was still in progress. Thought I was the only one who did stuff like that. Great anatomy....you can sense the looming weight of the sword blow.

Colin

Thanks Colin, appreciate your comments . Just had to paint the face to see if I could paint the expression I wanted. I don't have a set process when doing my figures, but in saying that like to paint the face early.

I too like to paint the face early on, so I can see the figure I am creating. I love to build Historex figures, and I have really enjoyed keeping up with your SBS. Thanks for posting it. You did a super job on the eyes and the facial expression. With paint, you can really see how it turned out. I would love to see you do a detailed SBS on re-working the eyes.

Thanks so much for your comments pgarri27.Will try and add some more photos on the eyes.

Its all been said before mate but sensational stuff. Wow he's come so far from when I last saw him.

 

[John Belcher]

This is looking fantastic - very dynamic pose and the facial expression is excellent. The whole piece looks very solid - just how you imagine the "heavies" in action.
Cheers
Mat
