An excellent paint job. I particularly like the wood grain effect on the rifle, something I have not been able to capture well.

Many thanks my friend,don't give up on the wood grain,keep at it mate

Rooster looks great Brian.Just curious...When you say finished in oils do you mean washes and shading?I noticed you started the vest sand colored and ended up more brown.
Keep up the good work.........Regards.......Wayne

Hi Wayne,thanks for your coments,I don't use washes when I shade,it's all paintwork wet on wet mate

Lovely muted colors and patina from the oils. Still not wild about "legless" busts but this is Wayne and have to admit he looks great.
