Hi Guys

I had one of those days today, the ones where you want to paint but dont want to paint anything you have already started, so after a little confusion, I aked my very understanding partner which one out of my grey army I should start today, and she picked this one. It was already primered but not started, so what you see here is all work done today in acrylics, there are still a few bits to do as well as the blanket, as ever all comments are welcome...

Beautiful work Dave...........your partner has excellent taste and the ability to make a sound decision :lol: Of course comming from me...........any Indian would be the right choice. It still amazes me to see how quickly a figure can be painted when using acrylics. With my technique....about a week to get this far. Keep us posted on your progress.

Charlie's coming along very well for a single days work Dave...

Nice work so far mate...

Roy.

Thanks guys for you comments...

Guy, I thought you mit like this one, the painting only took this long because I spent about a month gathering info on material colours and other stuff, so i was pretty much sorted for how he was going to be painted.

Roy, no worries he will be there on wednesday, you can take a closer look...

Great job Dave, this is one of my all time favourites - can't wait to see him finished.

Hi Dave,

Like the rest I like the skintone very much. It really captures the look of a sunburned, dried and wrinkled oldy. Our future doesn't look all that good :lol: . I also like his ears which are very lifelike; Great painting!

Beautiful work Dave as always. I've heard of this one described as probably one of the best castings of all time, and you've certainly done it justice mate!
