[Henk]

However, Kriegs-und-Finanzministerin is really pißed off. Ah, the price we pay!? Egal.

Hello Peter,
I'm glad to see you here. Your work on this bust is precise and detailed. I'm looking forward to coloring.

I keep my fingers crossed and move on.

One side of the flag. I think the red and blue are ok but no doubt they’ll be revisited from time to time. The white? I always seam to struggle with white. The gold embroidery has been base coated with AV English Uniform.

 

[Dozer]

Getting there.

 

[Steve Ski]

This is coming along very nicely.

 

[samson]

This is going in a great direction . Are you using oils here ?

 

[Dozer]

Thanks guys,

Red, white and blue all with oils. I’ve just started on the white. The pic above has my oil palette and scribbled out above the palette is the various paints I’ve used. Still a fair bit to go.

 

[samson]

It’s looking great

 

[Dozer]

A bit more colour on the flag.

the gold is a base of AV English Uniform followed by the first metallic coat - AK1192 Old Gold. A first wash was applied - Army Painter Dark Tone, thinned 50/50 with water.

More to come

Hi Peter

Nice masking you've done for painting the details ..going to look good

Thanks for sharing the updates

Happy benchtime

[Dozer]

Thanks Nap, but the masking was just so I didn’t get my grubby fingers on anything. I need somewhere to hold it .

Lovely work on the flag better; this is going to be deeply impressive when finished.

Beautiful progress. That adds some great depth to it.

Beautiful progress. That adds some great depth to it.

Agree there Steve

Like the neat lettering achieved on the flag

Looking forward to more from Peter

[Dozer]

Thanks. It’s been a challenge.

 

[Dozer]

Finished. At this stage at least. I’ll revisit when it’s in the hand. Photographer I’m not. It’s a bit awkward getting it on the right angle and juggling the iPad at the same time.
