Another 101st Airborne bust

[Jason Crausby]

Thanks Neil... I agree... its probably that I just found it a little over dramatic if that makes sense... but now I've put it together I'm quite happy with it?

Thanks everyone...glad you like it so far...anyway whilst I wait for my plinth to arrive I thought I’d make a start on another bust... but not another Airborne....in fact it’s almost the complete opposite of Airborne....any guesses???
Thanks again!

Spot on Neil... I’m even going to have a crack at a tartan shirt... inspired by your Charge of the Scots Greys work!
Thanks

Great start Jason. Is it the SK Miniatures bust?

 

[Jason Crausby]

Hi Peter..thanks... it’s Young’s Miniatures... I’ve just created another thread on progress so far

Hi all
Just a final footnote on this... I’m just back from a short break in Spain to discover:
1/ I now have to stay home for 2 weeks! ( oh no)
2/ a local lockdown as I live in Greater Manchester. ( oh no)
3/ My plinth has arrived ( oh yes!!!)
So I thought I’d just finish this off and post the final pics....



Thanks
Jason

Nice plinth Jason burr walnut by the look, will match that unbelievable lifelike work.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Super duper painting

 

[Deleted member 6559]

The rugged plinth sets him off perfectly Jason. Hope you've got more in the stash to get you through the next two weeks.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

a brilliant choice of plinth, as Peter says.
a stunning piece altogether

Stunning work Jason.
Awesome
Cheers

[Jason Crausby]

Thanks all... sadly the stash is pretty much depleted but in any case, as SWMBO is having to work from home for the next couple of weeks I'm already seeing my spare time seriously depleted!!
Thanks
Jason.

Outstanding work Jason. The bazooka was the right choice. It could make for some excellent lunch breaks. PaulE

P. S. Not how I wanted to describe this masterpiece, all my expletives would of probably got me drop kicked from the group!

Excellent bust Jason! (Even if I’m a bit late to say so!)
