Verlinden battle of the bugle bust wip

[chris1]

Hi Simon
Nice work so far looking forward to seeing more.

I'm bit of a fan of Verlinden's busts.
Because here in NZ you can pick them up cheap(ish) 2nd hand
and to be honest they aren't all bad .In fact I'm working on three.

Nice and smooth Simon.
The shadows in the eye creases could be a touch dark, but that's a personal thing.
Like the helmet.

Ok so the curse of the Vallejo primer has struck again A while back I had some major problems with a bottle of Vallejo Black airbrush primer (which I chucked away) mainly that after awhile it started to peel this a happened to a few figures and busts at that I primed around the same time but not this one so thought I had gotten away with it.... apparently not tonight it started to bl#@dy peel so now going to have to strip this and start again

Thanks to those who followed this thread will start a new one when I get started on this again

he will live to fight another day only advantage to this primer problem is it is striping off really easily

Halfords primer, it's the future I tell ya!

It sticks to anything like s**t to a blanket.

Cheers,

I know was incredibly pi@#ed off by this but the flaw in the primer is helping in stripping it off so should have him back in the field soon
