My First 1/9th bust, Tirailleur Senegalais 1914

[George123]

I have completed my first 1/9th bust and painted this with Vallejo for the face and hat, and Humbrol and Tamiya for the uniform. It is certainly a learning process working with the wet palette and trying to get the face right (first time for me). I have a long way to go learning these techniques.

This is a PiliPili figure which I first saw on this forum and was lucky to get one.

I hope the photos load properly. I'm not the greatest model photographer.



Another shows the base I made with pine and router.
