Wow, macasar, awesome bust! Very well done - clean, detailed and just itching to be painted. Excellent!

By the by, do you market any of your work? This would sell well.

Ok, that is lame....... We are our own worst critics. That is an awsome sculpt and you should know it........

I'd buy it if it were on the market, that's a great bust with lots of character!!!

 

[MinasTirithGuard]

Very well done, I like the uniform texture.

My only critique is that the wrist/hand might be a bit thin, but that could be the camera shot. A very well excecuted piece overall

Vitte, There is nothing wrong with your work. I especially like the attention to detail you give the uniforms and equipment. Everything else comes in time. Please keep going.~Gary

Vitte - I admit I WAS critical about the gas mask size on the previous bust, but there's nothing wrong with the size of this one compared to the head.

This is a great, very skillfully done bust with marvelous detail!

And yes, I did know that the mask was mostly rubberized cloth and compressible. What I didn't know until you brought it up was that it tends to hold that shape out of the container - although, thinking about it that makes some sense. In what condition is your mask? Would you consider posting a pic of it on display? Would love to see it!

All the best,
Dan

 

[Hyades]

Aw, vitte, you surely jest! It's an awesome sculpt! Right up there with some of the best work on this site. I bet someone would reproduce your work for sale!

Exellent sculpting. And I am waiting that someone would reproduce your busts for sale, because they had the special look I am searching

All the best

[megroot]

Didier - I see nothing wrong with the head - looks fine to me! I don't know if you're considering offering it to a manufacturer but it would do well I believe -particularly so if you could somehow offer more than one possible face. Now that would be very novel and interesting for the modeller!

All the best,
Dan
