Nice one Kevin, always good to see you improving these busts with accurate details. It keeps reminding me that I should do the same on some, but I don't have the sculpting skills to pretend I can "improve" someone else work.
Looking forward to see some colour on him.

Why not, you can get academy pieces with a face and correct anatomy, just a case of adding uniform, headdress etc. That's not much more than you've been doing anyway, only down side as I see it is when sculpting ones painting skills get dulled, well mine do.

Hi Simon

I can’t afford to diminish my painting level any more ! .....easier to watch someone who knows what they are doing ...like you

Looking good so far........

Sadly not getting much time to spend any time at the bench, we've had the builders in, and I'm still decorating a bedroom.
Fingers crossed I can get back soon, that wee pirate needs finishing and I have the AWI figure crying out to be painted.
