Gordy thank you for your nice comment.
Rodrigo my friend for the metal parts i used stormtroopers bronze and gold and ivory black, burnt umber and sap green from oil colors. Made a full range from highlights to shadows and painted as if painting non metalic parts with oils. I also added some glazes of oil colors where the metal comes close to other fabrics, like red under the cloak and lilac above the ribbon to imitate reflection.

Dimitrios, thanks for you time to answer, really appreciated......have a wonderful week and a happy 2011.

Carl in danger of repeating myself I went for the safe approach!!! Glad you like it.

The reds always work because they are so well done. I would also love to see more SBS's or even a video as you suggested.

Mike, Alexandre thank you guys for commenting.
Took some time this morning and finished this little fellow. Quite fun to paint this bust which is smaller than usual Young's bust and much smaller than Reid's ones.
Cheers.
