Hi everyone,

Here's my latest 1/10 bust for Michael's miniatures. He is the Earl of Stafford based on a painting in the Cramer museum.

thanks

Excellent work Aaron
Are some of the metal parts machined ?

thanks Gordy,

No just filed and textured with a scalpel/pliers etc. The arms are based on alum tubes

Impressive it looks as if you can unbolt it all off!

Will he have a left hand and is there any chance of a pair of legs as well?

Congratulations on an excellent half figure.

What a lovely piece, that is going to be a fantastic bust when completed. I'll definitely be adding this to my "must buy" list.

Stunner!! I would paint that. Hardy

Nice Work!

To me it seems more like a half a figure than a proper bust. It really needs a pair of legs to complete it.

Whoa Nellie, just so impressive

Wow, what a beautiful bust. . . And the hardware on this figure is so
well detailed, and along with the finely detailed texture and rendering of the
hair, this bust creates such a dynamic force to the viewer, and I haven't even
seen it painted yet. The evidence of so much discipline and intelligence, here.
Congratulations.

Very nice and impressive work.

I would really vote for that pair of legs!

Please continue!

I tend to agree with others on this. It is a stunning piece and beautifully represents the portraits used in the research. Legs would be wonderful, it's more than a bust. I won't hesitate to buy it as it not only is well done but the challenge of duplicating the feel of the paintings is quite a challenge for me.

i love it, the hair work is very impresive along with the metal.
