This just gets better and better. I think Peedee has summed it up very well which isnt surprising considering he's Scouse!!!

Very beautiful work Colin.
The sculpt has so much accurate detail that I cannot begin to list my 'likes'.
I must ask, did the move up to 1/5 scale make things better or worse. For me the larger the figure the greater expectation I have in my own work.
As Carl Reid said, there is no hiding place in the bigger scales.
You are an inspiration to us all Colin and I'm looking forward to the next photographs.
All the very best,
Keith

Thanks for the encouragement to all. And no Colin I am nowhere near finishing.

I like sculpting and painting large scale. I don't see much difference between 1/5, 1/6 or 1/9. But the broad areas of uniform on larger scales are very difficult to paint with acrylics. It's a bitch getting the paint to blend. Oils are much friendlier in larger scales.

On the down side, as I have said before, the larger scales are pushing against the accepted definition of what constitutes a miniature. I have found that many ask me why I work so big? And it's clear that there is more than a hint of non-acceptance. Luckily I like the large scale for me.
 
Initial application of oils over flesh acrylics. Glazes to come. Eyes to redo. Acrylic lace on the dolman need repainting in oil to match that on the pelisse.

I've said it before on your other busts but I think this time the words never rang truer...

THIS is your best face to date! And I think you'd be hard pressed to outdo it!

Carry on my friend, well done and bravo

Stunning is the only adjective which I can think of. You get better every time!
