"Old Blood and guts" -Patton

[Nap]

Hi Guys ,
Here's the final pictures of the Warriors Patton bust - "Old Blood and Guts" ...the scupt is I reckon based more on George C Scott's portrayal of him in the film , but he does look like the man himself .

Initially finished the medals then relooked and spent another "couple" of hours on them , the formation badge is an addition .

Enjoyed doing this despite all the medals ....now where is that WW1 French Flying ace I have !!!!!!!!



All comments are very welcome .

Hi Nap,

Wow, the final result is awesome. Definitely George C Scott, in all his grizzly, grumpy glory. Great detail on all those medals.

Nice work Nap. I'm with Tony, the details (medals, badges etc.) are very nicely rendered. This is being SUPER picky, I know, but I would like to see a tad more color difference between his tie and his shirt collar, but a VERY small point on a great effort!

Patton

Hi Guys ,
Thanks for the comments ..appreciated

Carl ,
What do you mean you haven't finished the 120mm yet !!!!!!

Tony,
You are right , George C at his grizzly best , the medals ...well I have a thing for this sort of thing ..though I nearly lost what hair I have left !!!!! ..Its good to get a comment from you on the work .

Jay,
Thank you also for the comments , you have a point regarding the shirt and tie colour , looking at the references I have , some show a distinct difference , others show them virtually being the same ..might revist the tie at a later date !!!!

...Definitely George C Scott...

I agree. A good likeness of Scott in his portrayal of GSP.

Definatly George C Scott as Patton, great detail work. Kind of hope they have a Carl Maudin as Omar Bradley soon.
