Painted the plinth, a cut down knitting needle will be the mount, just need to get the right height - it's a bit too long at the moment
Those decorations need detail painting................................
The head, well, I'm getting to the stage, whether I continue tweaking, or leave alone, just a few places to touch up
So far, I've learnt a lot from this, it's quite a change, just siting at the desk with paints & a palette, no glues, or fillers. I've had to acquire new paint brushes, and found that my existing ( cheap ) oil paints aren't the best quality. After using no smell acrylics, I can smell the oils!
