Fellow planeteers,
I have gone stir crazy on the diamonds and from the pic's I can see some still need attention. They will be dealt with.
I am pleased with the result though and it was a pleasure to paint.
Thanks for looking in.

Hi Nap ,
Diamonds are for ever, as some one sang. They took me a while (this is the 2nd time I have painted him as I stripped him back) about 4 hours in total but not all in one sitting.
I found it best to break it down in sections.
On the workbench is the Coldstream Guards bust from CGS.
Thanks again Nap for the kind words.
Cheers

Nice job Bob... that kind of lace is a nightmare to paint but the result of the work is rewarding!

Don't listen to Nap! Busts may be a nice diversion but legs are where it's at!!!!!

Looking forward to your next piece
