Interesting lighting - I like the textures, especially the hood

 

[swralph]

Very nice work

Nice work on the hood, we seem to have a run of these and every style has been quite different.

Thanks Sippog glad you like him , In the photos he has a slight yellow tinge possible to much light sort of washed him out slightly
Cheers Swralph he is a fun figure
Hi Zane mate there is a bit of the run happening I think it mainly is a clean open good looking Bust it paints very easily and looks impressive
I've tried to stay away from the solid red of the legion find unless it is brand spanking new tunic it will fade quite quick to a more rustic type colour
what with wear and tear washing mud rain etc hopefully it matches the used cape .
All inspired by the movies ( The Eagle , Rome , Lost Legion, Etc Etc Etc )
Thanks Again Guys

Hi. Chris,

Like what you have done certainly has a veteran look , nice work on the wrapped up eagle and flesh work ....it's good to see how different modellers paint this

Thanks Guys for the positive feedback yes the second set of photos look much better but did not know how to take away old ones and replace with the better ones It is amazing how many different versions of him there are............ Its great looking and comparing the different styles

Great piece Chris - as you have said it is nice to try a figure others have done but put your twist on it

Great stuff Chris

As you know I love these Roman busts. Your version definitely has that weather beaten veteran look about him. Great colour choices, great effects. Overall great work.
