Jacobite

[Paulo]

Hi Guys sorry for not posting for a while but I've recentely changed my job and as you guess ther's a lot to do.
Anyway live goes on and I'm glad to share with you one of my favorite subjects the Jacobite revolution.
This is what I call a good start but still a lot to do (with pleasure). I 'll keep on touch I promise.
As for 2013 a lot of GOOD projects on the bench I must fight with myself to decide wich one is first.
I'm actually painting (90% done) a sculture from a friend of mine that is going to participate in Mundialito contest in Leganes Spain. It's a sort of wnt between clubs instead of Countries, my team is AMM Assossiacao de Modelismo do Montijo wich is my Portuguese Modeling Club -http://www.ammontijo.com/ - the link if you want to sneak arround.

Happy New Year everybody

Is nice to be in vacaciones (holidays) one can allways profite to use his bruches. I believe the first colors where a litle to strong, so as you can see I smoothed out some areas (nice exercice) . Thanks for the comments, the eyes are really the most important in a Bust, as for the skin tones there not bad but ... lets whait and see. this is my second bust so stell a lot to learn, but i'm loving it. I believe I have to do some more ...

 

[housecarl]

Very nice mate, Is the tartan a made up design or an existing one?

 

[Paulo]

Helo, almost finish (yes, I can start another !!!) the bust is now in the sideburner, I've painted the metal parts (still one last higlight to do ) and a lot of small touhes everywhere, shadows in the shirt, shadows in the air, etc
I'll make final fotos when is over from diferent angles.
ps: the Tartan is the one wered by the e Reg. of Lord Ogilvy in the Batlle of Culoden
