Fabulous work, Peter - like the eyes & the flesh tones highlights a lot.

chris - thanks for the support
Nap - yes I will try to push the highlights, it not something i'm good at but I will try, especially the highlights

i am thinking of trying blond - any suggestions for the best colours to use? So far I just blocked in some colour to get An idea for the tone of the skin.

Blimey, I'd be happy if my heads turned out like that...

Nice start, what scale was this?

 

[PLG]

Henk - you are very kind. It is 1/10 scale

Hi guys

i'm calling this one done. The white shirt cud be better, but I'm afraid that I will end up overworking it if I do any more.

Very nice, the way the shirt is more opaque where the sides overlap.

Thanks Henk

thankfully the next mess dress bust I do will not have a white shirt!
