Hello,

Just use voucher code "Brennan Brush" in the checkout and good luck, I'm looking forwards to seeing the entries

Is this the place for the competition? This is my version of Woodrow Call from the series Lonesome Dove. It is a relatively "original" piece, but, the real credit must go to Sid Naique for his amazing portrait work. This is a "kit bash"/conversion using Sid's Tommy Lee Jones from Men in Black, I re-worked it a bit to give the face a younger look along with Woodrow's facial hair. I re-worked (slightly) the bandana from Sid's Shea Brennan (Sam Elliot). I stuck it all on my own torso...although the torso started out as the torso for Sid's Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing). I can claim the hat as my own...LOL! I painted it using Scale Artist tube acrylics along with Scale 75 inks. The OSL effects were done primarily with spraying diluted inks and then applying thin glazes of reflected highlights. Thanks for looking...Jim

I had a discount on Sid Naique's Old Cowboy and Man In Black busts on the web site to coincide with the competition

This was to run for the month of March but as I have added another Western themed bust the discount has been extended to the end of April and Fotis Mint's 1/6th Cheyenne bust has been added

Just use "Brennan Brush" when prompted after clicking the discount coupon tab at checkout and get £3.00 off the busts

Hi guys,

New here but it was suggested that I enter this comp with my recent bust. I hope I did this right?

 

[macuk]

Perfect

 

[Steve Ski]

Every one of these busts are incredibly well done! How could one chose one amongst the others? Great work Gents!!!

'1883' gave us Captain Shea Brennan (Sam Elliott) a craggy Pinkerton escorting new arrivals from Texas to Oregon with a mass of troubles and incidents along the way

I have tried to capture a look at the beginning of the TV series, I contacted Mark as soon as the image popped up but asked for mine in 1/9th scale.

A beautiful piece of 3D sculpting and a delight to paint.

I had some issues with my painting and ended up stripping back the head and torso in Dettol but it was worth it for me and I'm pleased with my end result.

All painted with Vallejo acrylic's with an addition of the hat band ends made from Milliput, and the fact that I removed most of the hair under the Hat because I wanted it to look more authentic sitting like it does on his head.

Base wonderfully produced by Richard at Oakwood Studios

Hi there,
I was hoping to have this finished in time….but no such luck.

I AM NOT entering this in its half finished state but simply putting these pictures up to show my support for the work Nap has put in to organising the competition and for those manufacturers offering prizes. Well done and thank you all.

The figure is meant to show Gus McCrae from Lonesome Dove, the TV series, at the moment he takes an arrow in the leg. A major conversion/build based on a bust produced by Glory Boys. See WIP forum.

I would also like to say well done to those who have entered the competition.

All of your work is outstanding and you all deserve to be winners!

My thanks again to NRG for introducing us to this fine range of busts. I wouldn't have come across them otherwise.
