Hi,
I'll keep you company Neil, I always like to get the face painting out of the way as it sets the mood. The sculpt of the face lends well to painting so it was down to putting in the right colors.
I have also reset the left arm much higher and given the coat a base of bright red.
Sorry to say I didn't keep track of the painting as I was in a rush...but I have though some on the base...
I mixed up some cement and slate stones for the ground base and coated with fine spackle and generous amounts of thinned white glue and fine sand. With this attack the base had to be masked as above.
I wanted some of the battle debris on the ground so I fashioned a wagon wheel from card, rod and strips following dimensions from an ESCI wagon wheel...
Placed it to check out the composition and then I added a a strip of foil for the iron outer rim and painted it...tall and short staitic grass was added and painted too.
Cheers,
Richard
