My biggest challenge (boudica)

[megroot]

One is the dagger from the Celt. Should be glued after you glued the small piece of his cloak. You can see on that small piece the rope that is holding the dagger around his belly. I'm writing now about the small dagger that is on a block of resin.

Looking forward to seeing this progress , like you I too build my busts up to paint ...but never as many parts as here though! ..lol

Take your time on this the finish will be great you certainly get value in bench time in respect the reasonable cost

Nap

Doesn't that "cow horn" go with Boudicca?

 

[megroot]

Yes, after 1 week preparation every single piece is in the primer.
so the fun begins. The painting.
A fighting roman is on his way (thanks Steve) and now I gonna start looking after a nice base.

nice start on this marc I have this piece on its way

 

[megroot]

Some while ago I post something about the Boudica.
Painted several evenings and this afternoon. Not a great step forward, but it is so time cossuming. But also great fun.
After I see these pictures I have to redo the left eye.
Chariot is half done .
Give me some comments what should be improved.

Coming along nicely Marc.

If I may....some washes over the chariot framework will give it more depth.

Thanks Ron. Done that but it is not so vissible as in reality. Beside that, there is not much to give it a depth because there is not much relief.

OOh, this is coming along nicely! I recon if you're gonna go for it, go all the way, wow!

 

[Steve Brodie]

[clrsgt]

Coming along nicely; I totally agree with the idea of washes over the chariot.

 

[Viking Bob]

That's some undertaking Marc, but you are more than capable. Look forward to more.

 

[megroot]

Another great thanks for the support.

Hello Guys,
Gonna bore you with another update from the Boudica on her Chariot.
After 3 weeks and some rainy weekends it is time for a update.
As far as I know what you see on the picture's (some are really bad) is how far I'm now.
The right hand of Boudica with the spear isn't there because i know myself, ( in a moment I break it before i nocticed).
Let me here what you all think about it.

[Steve Brodie]

Coming along nicely, the wash on the chariot has helped pop some of the details

 

[megroot]

Thanks Steve,
Painted after the picture's some war paint on the face. At least she is gonna hit a Roman at the battle of ???? somewhere in the Midlands.
