Hi. Now working on an old Tartar miniatures bust of a Landskneht.
This is how I tried to paint steel:

Hi Pedro

Nice choice of bust , good to see how you approach the metallic, despite pics being a little dark , looks to be working well .....

Will you add any hint of rust around the studs perhaps ?

Following this with interest

Looking forward to seeing more

Have fun at the bench

Today's work. I have to redo at least one eye.

 

[Briggsy]

The eyes look pretty good to be fair but better to it if it is going to make you feel happier about the figure.

Cheers Simon

Hi Simon. It seems to me that they are not looking in the same direction

Hi Simon. It seems to me that they are not looking in the same direction

Not surprised with that scar on his cheek! I see what you mean though, it's a matter of less than a nightmare though but still you have to be happy with your work so go for it.

Cheers Simon

Hi Pedro

Hi Nap.
The answer to both your questions is yes. I painted some redish tones and pink around the eyes. The Blu Tac is where I want to glue the large hat (see 1st picture)

Hi. I've been out of Lisbon this last few days, but i'm back on the bench now.
Leather (various earth tones) and red (Andrea Red Set) almost finish.

 

[Briggsy]

Nice use of the browns, makes the leather look nice and soft.

Cheers Simon

 

[Pedro]
