Thank you very much huw, bust no2 (being painted for charity) arrived today. Onwards and upwards!
I look forward to seeing that - I'm working on my first busts (CGS Waterloo Commanders) and was so ashamed of my results two of them have been stripped ready for rework. Mind you I see busts fitting in with my collections so I've bought quite a few in the meantime...
Cheers

I got overexcited and started roughing in the skin tones on my new one already! Those Waterloo busts seem to be a popular starter set, good luck with your second run at them. I'm going to have to see if I can transfer bust sale techniques back to my usual 54 & 75 mm full figures, though I've also started a 32mm for the challenge, my poor eyes!
I'm using this set to learn about acrylics - so far Napoleon looks ok but lots of work still to do. Good luck with bust number 2 ano the 32mm figure - 1/35 is the smallest scale I touch.
Cheers

Hehehe...only 32mm. I can recommend a few from Hasslefree if you want something even smaller to test your eyesight. Their children sculpts are about 20mm
Well done on your pirate, and your Poppy's Angel's bust is taking shape nicely too (don't worry, I'm not going to say what lovely piece of resin it is).

You have cracked it, old son, first time around! The characterisation is lovely, well done I don't do busts, but I appreciate the artistry that goes into them.

Of course, you could be like Jimbo, he just adds legs to the ones without
