Hi all,
I thought I’d make a start on this bust by Life Miniatures as it’s been in the stash for a while... I’ve always been put off by the rather neat beard on the box art so I decided to rough it up a little with the craft knife. I’ve also opted for a lighter hair colour and it works better in real life than on the pictures. It’s quite basic but where there are details such as the details on the cap , they are really well done.
So here we are so far...

Thanks for now...

Hi all,
Making some progress on this but the shirt has held me back.... this is the third version... did a red one that didn’t work then a blue one... both of which didn’t give enough contrast between the squares... This third version still needs some tidying up but here’s where I am now,

Thanks all,...much appreciated,
Pretty much calling this done now... I scratched a couple of cap badges from plasticard and milliput and that’s about the best I could do with them...

The idea was that they complement the repro cap badge I have used on the base... not that close a match when you compare the two but it was just too fiddly for me.... anyway here’s the finished bust .. hope you like it..

Totally stunned and I certainly don't have a big enough vocabulary to describe how excellent this is...

so I'll just say a stunningly gorgeous bust if ever I've seen one..
