The Magnificent Seven plus the Baddie (1/9 scale busts)

[arj]

I've finally finished this group.
I got the set from Gordon Mitchell back in February and thought that these eight busts would keep me busy for a good long while.
However, they proved to be such fun, that I got carried away and found myself working on 2 or 3 at any one time.
The sculpting by Pavol Ovecka ('offo' on PF) was first rate. Therefore any errors in appearance will be down to my painting.
This is what I've ended up with (painted in Humbrol enamels and oils):-

Individually, the characters are 'Vin Tanner' (Steve McQueen), 'Chris Adams' (Yul Brynner)
'Calvera' (Eli Wallach), 'Chico' (Horst Bucholz), 'Bernardo O'Reilly' (Charles Bronson),
'Britt' (James Coburn), 'Lee' (Robert Vaughn) and 'Harry Luck' (Brad Dexter).









Hope you like them, but my skin is reasonably thick if you want to let rip.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thanks for your kind comment Max.
One of my favourites too, as is self evident from the set.
I spent quite some time re-watching and checking details on my DVD, and spotted various things that I hadn't seen before.

Pleased you like them Kevin.

The last two (see S.B.S.) presented the most initial frustration, but proved to be the most fun to paint.
Look forward to meeting up at Plymouth.

I'm pleased you liked them Ken.
They are an impressive set of sculpts to slap paint on (thanks 'offo' and 'Grod').

Thank you for your kind comment Tony.
It's a pity that they were finished so quickly ... but now looking at Rob Lane's 'Flashheart' bust.

Cheers,

You've done a great job Andrew! I love them and, Nap, there's a lot of Brenner going on here lately.
