Thank you Peter.
Here is the torso.

The beige thing on his left armpit is the retaining string of the respirator.
The one on the right is separate and will be added when I fit the respirator.
Just the one pic today, thanks for looking
Happy New Year everyone!

Neil,
The face is really nice he looks well lived in and very tired.

 

[Steve Brodie]

Turn my back for 5 minutes and a masterpiece has been created. Love, love, love the worn face !

 

[Steve Jones]

Happy New Year Neil. Off to a great start to the year with the torso. Keep up the great work my friend

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Well, he's finished.
The delay was due to trying to make my own decal for the helmet, because I knew I would never be able to paint it.
I'm not very familiar with graphics software so it took me quite a while, and my printer's resolution isn't great, but I got there in the end.


Thanks everyone for the encouragement, I really enjoyed this, I will definitely do another one.

One word, brilliant.

Great stuff Neil. The whole really looks the part. Love the staining and dust especially. Looks like he’s just come from the front line.

 

[Peter Gillson]

Very nice

Hi Neil
That is excellent. Sculpting and figure painting are each really difficult and you have done both.

Well thank you, Mr Day.
Luck certainly had a bit to do with the painting-I wasn't expecting it to turn out so well at all. I must admit I'm quite delighted with it, it's probably the best thing I've done.
I must thank you especially for all the encouragement you have given me with my faltering efforts.
