Lovely paint job Brian. I especially like the muted tones to the colours and great concept for the use of a bust.......dom

Many thanks Dom for your coments

 

[smudger1960]

Great work Brian. I thought mine was 95% finished with just the backpack insignia to do. It took me nearly as long as the rest of the figure!

Alex.

Many thanks Alex,your insignia was brilliantly done,I'm thinking of a few different ways to this

Hi Brian

Eyesight is getting worse by the day I think

any thanks Marc,

 

[smudger1960]

Hi Brian....just a thought.....gave you considered going flat black on the bust support and top of the plinth to reduce the visibility of the figure as a bust when observing through the front window? Just an idea for you to consider. Cheers

Hi Colin,the stem will be black mate,I have black stems on all my busts and the underneath will also be black mate

Truly excellent idea for setting the half figure - I wish I'd thought of it! Wonderful painting too of course - I wish I could emulate it!

Perhaps your best bustorama yet. The setting and bust fit together perfectly to tell the story. Great work!

Cheers,
Adrian

Thanks for that Adrian,I love all the subjects I 've done,it's another great way to display busts and I love doing them

 

[smudger1960]

Your creativity has taken a dramatically posed bust to another level. Love it!
