My first bust! 82nd paratrooper

[gioazz]

Ciao a tutti,

I've just started my first bust ever, quite a challenge for someone who's always painted 54mm, with very few 75mm and even less 90mm..

Anyway, I have to say that this bust is amazingly cast and sculpted, a full 10 for Young miniatures!

I'v only completed the front face, and finishing the helmet and life jacket.

As a side note, I've used for the base coat the new Vallejo German Green Brown surface primer and is amazing, smooth and you can airbrush it out of the bottle with no dilution!

Tell me what you think!

Ciao

Giovanni

Well I'm happy is not so bad.
