DEATH HUSSAR (Young Minautrs Bust)

[Metal Extremo]

After some months out of the forum for lack of time with the work and family i holpe return to forum's activity. In the short free time i had, was painting a little. I'll put the miniatures finished at forum when i'll take decent pictures.
The first of the is here

My first Young Miniatures bust. Very good experience. High quality in cast and modelling, and some little details to make more easy the assembly. I'm very happy with the make.














Some pictures of details, with suicide zoom

Fantastic work.
You have not forgotten how to paint

Excellent job. But in my humble opinion you have to repaint the catchlight in his eyes. It seems like cataract.
Better is a glossy varnish. If the light is then on the eye you have a natural catchlight what seems right from every angle.

That's an extreme close up! Not a lot of models stand up to that sort of scrutiny.

Nicely painted.

Thank's for your opinions friends.
My english isn't too good Megroot. Could you explain me what you wrote? Every eye has a point in white to make the light, and two layers of ceramic barnish, but i don't understand if you speak to me of this of is another thing what you say, and i want to improve my skills.
