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

Brilliant, Simply Brilliant, a Gold winner all day long. Just love everything about him, the face is exceptionally well done, has the haggered look of someone having to do the same thing over and over and not seeing the end in sight.

Thank you indeed, Richard -it's good to see you commenting again.
Sculpting is so intense that I can't do it all the time- I did do it professionally for a few months back in the nineties (character bubble bath bottles and collectables) and I would be quite burned out at the end of every day.
But I do enjoy it and I have to say this one has exceeded all my expectations-it's been like having a dream in black and white and waking up to find it's true and in colour!
Keep the faith!

I mentioned earlier that I have 4 castings of this boy to sell . I need to cover my costs and make a small profit(to justify to SWMBO) so I am asking £20 each + postage.
PM if you are interested.
Many thanks again for all the kind comments
cheers

Neil,

Apologies missed this crossing the finish line.

A brilliant piece of work. That really does have to be one of, if not the most realistic face on a bust I've ever seen.

Simply outstanding.

ATB.

[Steve Brodie]

Just received a copy and the sculpting and casting is 1st rate, well done Neil

 

[Steve Jones]

Well worth the wait Neil. An outstanding sculpt and beautiful paint work. Looking forward to seeing your next bust.

In a shameless piece of self -promotion I would like to announce that I've just seen over on the Planet Figure forum that this has been launched by Foxwood Figures.
AFS Fireman Bust
Very gratifying-I had forgotten all about it!

Moderators please note; I sold the master outright so I'm not going to make any money from the sales

 

[Jim R]

That's something to be proud of. Your skills are appreciated.
