Completed Lord Nelson

[Nap]

John, I mean no disrespect to the artist who painted the box art, but your piece deserves to be on the box. I believe yours is the definitive version of this bust for me. Words fail me. All I can do is request permission to yell “BRAVO “ in an annoyingly loud voice.
BRAVO

totally agree in all comments

ITS SUPERB

John...Any chance of a SBS on how you do lacework , gold , silver etc

Hi John, l posted earlier and the praise heaped on this piece is so well deserved, l fail to see how it could possibly be improved. For me the face and metals are the high point. I would love to know what materials you used for the metals.

Best regards.. Keith

Hi John

Like Keith I am posting again ,for me everytime I look at it , the artwork and skill screams out

If PF still did FOTY ...this would be right up there in my opinion

Look forward to seeing more from the "bench of Belcher"

Happy Modelling

Thank you Keith. I used none metallic colors for lace work which was Jo Sonja acrylics and for the metal work like medals and buttons I used Dark Star Metallic and Scale 75 color . I will do a SBS soon on the mixes.
