Scale Collectables 1/8th "Dolores Abernathy"

[Rob]

After the trials mentioned in my WIP thread ( https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/scale-collectables-1-8th-dolores-abernathy.596966/#post-1358555 ) I have finished the wonderful Dolores Abernathy bust from Scale Collectables. Painted in acrylics and true metals.

The first time I have tried to paint an actual recognisable character rather than a "generic" face, hopefully I have managed to get somewhere close to the very striking Evan Rachel Wood.
She is just lacking a final matt coat and to add an eggshell shine to the bandolier, but that will have to wait until the humidity clears a bit here.

A great piece Rob, very realistic with the skin tones and the white singlet, an object lesson in painting.

Cheers Simon

Excellent finish, Rob! I like the more natural look, too. Well done!
It was fun to follow the build thread, too.

Prost!

Thanks guys, I keep trying to push the realism of my busts so am happy you can see what I am aiming for.

Fantastic work Rob

When you take the scale of the original piece you realise how much detail you have brought out with your skilled painting

Very nicely done indeed, subtle and incredibly effective paintwork.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words. I have really enjoyed painting her, despite my initial disasters she is a lovely figure to work on. Hopefully we get to see some other painted versions, I would be interested to see how she looks done in the more fashionable "Arty" style.

I now have my eye on the Carnival Row figures from Sid's range at SC.
