Hi folks
Yes it’s me that good looking fellow but currently sobbing profusely.......finished the rework , then painted it ...looked blooming aweful to say the least ...probably because it was too prominent
1 box of tissues later .....removed everything and going to try something different ...stay tuned
Too much has gone into this fine sculpt to hide it in a back cupboard
Off for a large drink .....of tea
C’est la Vie as Emerson Lake and Palmer sang

Ouch, not good but then you have a knack for pulling through these disasters with flying colours or more appropriately shiny medals!

Oh that is a shame, but as Simon says I'm sure you will turn it around with fantastic results as normal.

....I have used another box of tissues to wipe away my tears ( please send all donations to ........) ...
So ...I have removed all traces of the putty right back to the original surface ...sanded it right back to a clean surface ......
Now resculpting to take the design back to the original that DG did.....
Yes I know ...full circle .....going well atm
This was the putty work before the above was done
Using these refs for the final version as on the sculpt originally!
Next instalment coming to a cinema near you soon
Nap
PS If anyone knows what refs DG used ....feel free !

A lot of work and a forest worth of tissues, that's what you get for messing with the work of a master, still at least you now know it's right!
Cheers Simon

Your right there .....it’s coming along okay now .......wouldn’t have done anything if I could have found the blooming reference Mr DG used!!
...but hey that’s life ...lol
