Finally done!

This is a an upcoming release from Lost Battalion. Sculpted by Alan Ball. It's a 120MM.

It was a monster to paint. Painted in Acrylics and Metalcoat for the Tommy Gun.

All comments welcome

Thanks for the feedback along the way on this one.

Thanks,

Mike

What kit is that Mike?

Looks like you have been speaking with Mr. Doug. Looking forward to more progress.

What scale is it ?

I think this is a very nice job. I however think that for the next time you can smooth a bit the shadows on the face. It is also a question of taste but I find they are too strong. Keep up the good work !

Quite correct Mr. Meehan I'm heavily influence by the Texas School of Art e.g., Doug Cohen among others.

Hi Laurent, Thanks for looking. The figure is a 120MM. This is the largest figure I've ever painted. It soaks up up the paint for sure.

Well you know my feelings on it! Of course you will do a great job with it!

Might just be me and a lack of sleep and coffee but he's got a kinda John Wayne look about his face...

 

[Steve]

Nice job of containing the eyes within the natural boundaries Mike! :}

 

[Mike Stevens]

Hi Gordon and Steve, Thanks for taking a look.

Rudi, I also thought it looked like John Wayne after my wife pointed it out.

I made a little progress this weekend between three soccer games and mt daughters birthday party. Here's an updated photo. Still pretty rough but you get the idea. All comments welcome.View attachment 94378View attachment 94378

Updated pictures. Top half of the figure is close to done. I have a lot of little clean up to do. Getting ready to move to the trousers.

All comments are welcome thanks for looking.
