I'm looking forward to painting but like I said to Kev above I.need a dry day to start the process.

Oh dear, we'll see them some time next year then........

I agree with Merryweather, these are amongst your best.
Keep up the great work.

Just catching up here - these are fantastic. Really great job. Looking forward to the painting!

 

[Steve Ski]

Simon, that is some impressive work, my friend!

 

[David Spencer]

Those really are exceptionally good. Definitely worth the time you've put into them. Their poses look natural and their proportions are right, from the photos.

 

[Briggsy]

Phil, Steve & David, thank you very much gentlemen, hopefully the weather will hold until I am free to prime these then.

Cheers Simon

 

[Briggsy]

I got the pair primed over the weekend, but didn't manage much of anything else with them. So far today I have managed to apply the main colours prior to doing anything complicated, so the painting process has started at last.

Even with basic colours blocked in they are transformed, these are looking so good.

Thanks though, I've managed some facial work before doing the school run, shopping, prepping dinner and opening a bottle of Brandy. Will revisit and improve it before posting hopefully tomorrow, for now drinking brandy and listening to the Doors, a good evening.

Poor lad ....don’t forget the ironing

[Briggsy]

I gave up ironing many years ago, now it's only done for what we wear to weddings, funerals and other unwanted social occasions

Me too. Bugger that.
My suit from >30 years ago is tight around the waist, but still does occasional service at formal events.
Shirts are all that gets ironed on such days
