Completed Critique Sir Bernard Law Montgomery 120mm Tartar miniatures

[marco14]

Mario that is one to be proud of as Merryweather said the texture on the jumper is brilliant, it looks like real wool. The trousers too are very well done the highlights are blended in with style, I love it. The chair is really good as well, especially the wood.

Cheers Simon

Hey Simon,
Thanks mate, it's all done with stippling "ours and ours" on the jumper" and over and over again,till it looks good

The beret and badges are looking good as well , the face works well

Always difficult to paint a well known subject

Hey Henk,

thank you for the very kind words Henk,appreciated this a lot
hahahahaha, there is a excuse for the shoes hé,it's war time there and then you can't keep everything clean LOL but it's so stuck in my
mind that I never,but never can paint a clean war figure ore bust,because they are dirty then,that's the way I think

Mario

 

[marco14]

Malc

Mario

 

[NigelR]

Thanks Nigel,it must be changed a lot when it's finished , the jacket looks the difficult thing
for me,the ribbons,very littlethings

Mario

 

[MCPWilk]

the ribbons,very littlethings

Medals and medal ribbons can be a curse, especially if there are lots of them and the published photos are not very clear (https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/hrh-prince-philip-commemoration-bust.493453/ and https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/your-country-needs-you-200mm-kitchener-bust.250150/).

Good luck,

Mike
