George Mitchell VC

[Jed]

I was gifted a bust of George and have found some info on the Web, somehow I knocked it over and now I'm missing half an ear (well not me but the bust!) when I signed up for this site I saw it mentioned and planned to go back to find the link but I forgot and now can't find it! Can anybody help?

The bust you have represents George Mitchell, and was released by MMM:-

A painted version can be found here:-

Sarnie Miniatures issued a bust of Speakman as a Chelsea Pensioner:-

Hope this helps.
No reason why yours shouldn't be amended to represent Speakman.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thanks Andrew, I initially believed it to be George Mitchell but something swayed me towards Bill! Thanks for your help

Hi Jed

Will change the title to read George Mitchell VC

Use a bit of sculpting putty for the ear or contact Mitches they might have a spare head you coukd buy

Look forward to seeing this progress

Thanks,although probably not a great problem repairing the ear sort of put me off,have to give myself a kick up the bum!!

I've messed about and had another go at this,so far my wife is happy so that will do for me,all critiques accepted and will be worked on if possible, Jed

Hi Jed

The reworked ear looks good

Pics look a little out of focus

Are you using acrylics and a retarder as the headwear looks shiny

Personally I would go for a less green more Kharki colour

Thanks for update

Look forward to seeing more

Happy benchtime

Stay safe

I agree ref shiny headwear,it is only the base coat and hasn't dried shiny before,the final colour will be quite a bit lighter. Thanks
