Great work Steve,
Sorry I missed the start of this big boy. It's good to see Grant,s leather effect being used to the full with brilliant results from your brushes.
Taking really good shape Mate, you must be well pleased?
Might be a bit late but following with interest.
All the very best,
Keith
 
Cheers Keith its very early days so you haven't missed much I am really pleased with the cracked effect as it was a bit of a shot in the dark how well it would work out. Glad to have you aboard (sorry couldn't resist ;) )

Hey Steve
Looking at your figure reminded me of an old pirate tale........

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."
The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shat in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird shit!"
"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."

That's as true as I stand here, sitting in my armchair;)
 
Thanks Brian although now Keith made it a warts an all pic you might want to rethink the nice start comment :eek:

Looking good so far Steve. 4 or 5 pounds?? That's one monster of a figure :nailbiting: With the whole pirate scheme, you can can be a bit freer with your choices... not being locked into uniform rules.

Have a ball with this one (y)

Colin
 
That's the plan Colin it's a huge lump of a thing but as you say not tied to any uniform (y) As ever thanks for looking in all comments welcome

Here is some more or less finished pics of the cracks I am quite pleased with the result. What do you folks think?

For me you have done a great job with this technique.
I am sure that Grant will be pleased to see his system in use!
Good work Steve, press on to a brilliant finish.
Cheers,
Keith
 
Turned out pretty good Steve... Looks like my old riding jacket, around the elbows, cuffs and the bottom edges (not including the roadrash on the back and shoulders :blackeye:;)).

Carry on brother(y)

Colin
