WIP Holmes + Watson

[Pedro]

Hi all
Now on my bench there are two great sculpts by Raul Garcia Latorre for H&V miniatures.
I've started with Watson. I think the eyes are ok but i'm not happy with the skin tone.
Thanks for watching

These are two great busts and I look forward to see what you do with these. I see what you mean about the flesh but you will manage to sort it.

 

[MalcC]

As Bob says, two great busts.
The fact that you are not happy with the flesh tones, suggests you will get there in the end.
That's dedication.

Eyes look okay to me

Looking forward to seeing more

Have FUN @ the bench

The eyes are good, Watson's skin tone in real life is not easy to copy. He always looks a bit washed out when I watch him.

 

[Warren SMITH]

Two excellent busts.. Happy to see how you deal with them.

[Pedro]

Are you planning on doing the pin stripes on the suit...

 

[Pedro]

Nice tones.

Malc

Thank you Malc

 

[Pedro]

Are you planning on doing the pin stripes on the suit...

It seems that there are 2 versions of this bust: one like mine with coat and overcoat, and other with jaket and coat with a medal.
In my case i'm planning to do the overcoat with a single dark color, and the coat a light brown with beije and red pin stripes defining large squares.

 

[Briggsy]

Really looking good, just caught up on this, I like how you made the skin tones better.

Cheers Simon

Hi Pedro

Your getting there with the flesh , never realised there's a overcoat version but think I prefer the medal one

Nap

Yes, I thought you would .
I think the medal version is when you buy the bust "solo", and my version is for the set of the 2 busts, but i'm not sure.

 

[Pedro]

Some more paint on Watson

Great work, keep at it.. I think my version has the medal.. Didnt realise they did two versions.. I also have Poirot ( David Suchet ) Captain Hastings and the bumbling Detective.. Great busts with alternate heads. ( with or without hat )
