The road to Moscow...1/10 bust

[Jason Crausby]

Hi all
With Winston finally finished I’ve made a start on a cracking figure by Life Minatures..lots going on with this in terms of additional prices which is a bit of a change for a bust...
Anyway initial progress has been made and I will update as and when!

Thanks for looking in!
Jason

Jason,
Looking good. It looks like a very nicely detailed bust. I will tag along if you don't mind.

Great face (again). Just remind me; do you use oils,acrylics or enamels? Really nice blending.

Hi all,
Thanks Scottie... glad to have you along!
Thanks Jim... I actually enjoyed doing the pinstripes...don't know why!
Thanks Jon... its all pretty much Vallejo acrylics
Thanks Steve ... you might need a lot of coffee... this could be a long one!
Thanks again John.... I've added a few more tones and colour to the face as it looked quite bland once I saw the pictures on a big screen... These are on my iphone so I will add them in the next post direct from the phone....lets see if the "portrait mode" is any good!
thanks
Jason.

Very nice indeed Jason. I love the warm skin tones.

 

[Steve Jones]

Stunning work Jason. Very impressed indeed. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of the bust

 

[Jason Crausby]

Many thanks Chaps!

i was planning at painting the helmet shields freehand... (the helmet will be whitewashed so they dont have to be spot on!) but I wanted to cut out a template to at least get them the same size and shape.... does anybody know how big these are in real life so that I can scale down to a 1/10?
Thanks
Jason

 

[monica]

great start to him,Jason ,liking the look you have gotten with the,skin tone,s

 

[Jason Crausby]

Many thanks Monica!

So heres my attempt at one side of the helmet decals...it’s going to be weathered and white washed so it doesn’t need to be spot on...having said that and to misquote Joe Strummer...should it stay or should it go???


Many thanks
Jason

 

[Steve Brodie]

loving the tones, eyes and as to the question - Stay, Stay STAY !

 

[Steve Jones]

Stay

 

[Mickc1440]

That's a great start on a great looking bust. I say stay but maybe rough it up a bit?

Hi Jason
Shield looks excellent. Definitely a keeper.
