Started on this 'old' but great bust (?) of the leader of the cockershell heroes - Lieutenant-Colonel Herbert 'Blondie' Hassler.
Thought i would see what all the hype/fuss is with painting the flesh with oil paints and am i converted ! Followed the colour recipe and technique by Milan Dufek and really happy with the results so far. Hair and moustache painted with scale artist acrylics.

More work on Blondie, his left eye took 4 goes to get right - Grrr, right eye - straight away, which is unusual as normally the right eyes are harder to paint.

Suppose the one advantage of oils is a quick swipe with some turps and its all gone, only downside to this is you need to leave it for a few hours before you try again.

On the final length now, water effects to add, build the sea and should be all good.

Vallejo Water Texture added, it will (eventually) dry clear, which is a sort of a shame as the white stuff is what i am after;

Hi Steve
Another great model. Really has come out well. I'm sure you can easily paint in the white wave crests after the Vallejo Water has set/dried/cured :tongue-out3:
