Following on from my review of this piece Here. I have already got the body put together and primed, along with the two heads;

They will be coming with me down to St.Ives for a week, so can hopefully get some paint on them.

 

[Henk]

So, which version will you do Steve? I'm still considering getting one, I fancy doing a Kuifje (the Dutch name for Tintin) version, in the cartoon style.

I was going with a black leather jacket as per the film, but fancy trying a brown one instead so probably go Tintin but will paint up both heads. Tintin has more facial definition

 

[Henk]

The thing that's stopped me from buying one straight away, is that the clothing is wrong for Tintin. He always wears plusfours, and a trenchcoat. As I want to paint him in the cartoon style (bold block colours, with strong outlines), he really should wear the same outfit as in the cartoons.

 

[Steve Brodie]

or could he (tintin) have inflriltated the bike gang to solve a crime of massive proportion

True, he did wear some dodgy disguises in the cartoons... not all of which would be acceptable today.. lol

Weather is a bit hit and miss, but at least its not home and a break away and views are stunning from the cottage.

 

[Steve Brodie]

got some slap on TinTin last night, still a bit wet and shiny at the mo, need to go back in and add some subtle highlights;



Also brought Stormtroopers British infantryman 88th Foot,along for the holiday and a few other heads, so got some paint on this one as well;

Food is quite amazing. plus a great place to visit if ever down this way is the 'Rum and Crab Shack' for a cheeky afternoon cocktail.

Welcome to God's country, Steve......inspirational eh?

Mike

Just a bit!

 

[Peter Day]

You lucky man. I've stayed in St Ives many, many times, but taking resin to paint would have resulted in divorce. Have one at The Sloop Inn for me.

 

[fogie]

Not possible to have just one in the 'Sloop', Peter. It's full of reprobates
who lead visitors astray....

added in his blushed cheeks and started on adding some ginger tones into his hair.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Got some AK Ultra Flat varnish on his face, looks a lot better now, not so glossy !



Have started on his 'brown' leather jacket, just a trial on his arm first to check out the process;

 

[Nap]

Hi Steve

That AK Matt certainly works well on the flesh

If I may ....Are the arms in place , looks like a tiny bit of filler might be needed

I would probably put a wash over the hair

This is certainly a challenge and will look good

Thanks for updates

Happy benchtine

Added a few shadows onto his jacket, and 'found' the logo on the back of the jacket, before i covered it in paint;
