WIP Zone Miniatures - Hussite Man at Arms

[JH Figures]

This is a fairly new release from my buddy Gábor Gurzó (Zone Miniatures - 1/10 bust), I have started to work on. Beatufil textured sculpt (3D sculpt by Oleg Pogosyan) with perfect casting and fitting, as usual. There is also a full 75 mm figure version, go check it out and get one for yourselves!
Decided to go for a Hussite Man at Arms. As a starter, drilled and cleaned all the holes, visor and the cross on the halberd. Yesterday I had a few hours again so I started to paint the face. Next session will be further blending, eyes and facial hair.

It looks to be an interesting project to which you have made a worthy start.

Nice bust and his face is awesome, given how little can be seen you've put character into it.

Cool!!!

I agree with Simon, awesome flesh work given you have so little to work with.

Hi JH

Good start with the prep especially work on the visor

If anything think I would replace the weapon pole and extend to meet the base .......just my thought !

Others have commented on the nicely painted flesh so can only agree

Are you painting a specific knight or a generic ?

Following this with interest especially the eyes

happy benchtime

Thank Nap!

Good idea about the pole, will keep in mind. This will be a generic warrior.

Done the eyes and blended some transitions on the face - still needs some blending on the sides.

This is beginning to look like it might be something really special.

I didn't think the first iteration could really be improved, guess I was wrong. Fantastic painting.

Started to work on the bust. The gambeson needs some refinement, the hood is just sketched, will apply 2 more highlight and an additional shadow.

 

[MalcC]

Good start on the Gambeson, I like the approach to the way you build up the colours.

The blue is really great nice and bright to grab attention.

Hi JH

Nice to see the torso , do like the way your painting the blue , nice tiny highs in the diamonds

The hood looks the perfect place to go for texture effects

Thanks for updates

Looking forward to seeing more

Happy brushes
