Dear Planeteers,
here is my finished version of this great Young Miniatures' bust. Taking some beauty shots was difficult with this one. Hope you like it anyway.
Keep on painting!

Hi Sven

You have absolutely nailed that black ...do share the colours used ...I have a 1/12th deaths head hussar to paint !

Love the eyes on him ...fanatical ! ...great flesh tones as well

Saving pics if I may as a reference

Think this could be with a little work painted as other regts

Why not enter a piece into the class of your choice in our May's FOTM comp and also vote in Aprils classes as well

....And enter in Vignettes & Diorama #3 which will be running till 31/01/22

Always good to see the artwork

Thanks for sharing

Look forward to the next

Happy benchtime

Outstanding paint work! You have made this figure come to life

Beautiful. I like the eyes (the placement of the pupils makes him look down, like he would when attacking an infantry opponent), but I wonder if darkening the upper eye lid a little would make it that little beter.

Mike, Mobo,Nap, Scott, and Henk,
thanks a lot. Your comments are much appreciated.
Nap, I used a mix of black and Vallejo Brown Sand (70.876) for the black . I added Natural Flesh (74.006) to the mix for the strongest highlights.
Here are some additional pictures from different directions.
