Thank you guys. Yes, Nap, it's fun!

Goggles, wet blending.

Lovely work Marcin.

Hi Marcin

Your really bringing this together now , goggles look good

Perhaps make the straps on the front as leather ?

Look forward to the next

Happy benchtime

A hat's on its place, at least now I can paint it ready, comparing it to the whole - it will be easier for me this way. From the original wand I will only use the head - the handle, because it seems too long to me and I am afraid of losses after placing the whole bust on a plinth (transport, etc.). I took a toothpick for now, tomorrow I will check if the welding wire is better.

Hi Marcin

Good idea painting in situ in my opinion as well .....as for the wand I would suggest a suitable brass rod if you have it there

Look forward to more on this

Alas, I don't have any in my stash... But I think you'll be happy with the effect

No. It'll be something different. But I can't say nothing for now.

Well, I think I can start painting the second version - "after work". Beautiful, just look at this face, stigmatized with pain..., and life style...

Another style of the mask, this one'll be from leather. As it's supposed to look old and worn out, I'll remove a few rivets.

Keep safe.

Hi Marcin

With the mak up it certainly puts a new look on the piece

Look forward to seeing this progress and what you have planned

Happy benchtime

The bust is mounted on pedestal, it's easier to work with rod now. Ushabti bone mixed with some sand yellow.

Primered...

Hi Marcin

Version 1 looks really good , look forward to the rod and completion

Version 2 looks good with the hat and mask positions .........any thoughts on colours yet ?

Painting the wounds on face will be interesting to see

Thanks for update

Happy benchtime

Well, how about this? I decided to look at the topic a little differently than before... The paints I used: skarsnik green, bieltan green (wash), agrax earthshade (2nd wash), light yellow (highs)...

As for the mask and coat, they'll be brown I think...

Excellent job on number one Marcin. I like your take on the face of number two - makes it a bit more sinister and scary.

Hi M

Ha!
I'm glad I made a surprise!
Traces of fighting a pandemic... It is obvious that the plague air penetrated the mask and the herbs in its beak did not help much. Right eye will have endosperm. I also need to improve shadows and color transitions.

Stay safe!

Airkid · Nov 3, 2021

Yep - looking good! I forgot to ask - there seems to be a rat in the pics of the parts, or am I seeing things?

Nap · Nov 4, 2021

Hi M

Don't give much hope for his survival looking at those illesions...messy

Phil's right there is a rat ..........

Nice update on this ...definitely a very different version ...great ideas

Happy benchtime

Just noticed - the rodent appears to fit in his right cuff. On that subject I remember some years ago we were visiting Norwich Cathedral to see the Edith Cavell memorial. We bumped into a young couple, the girl of whom had a white rat down her cleavage (lucky rat). She told us she took him everywhere with her. My missus seems to recall his name was Riff-raff. Whatever floats yer boat I guess.
