Morning Peter
Super colour work on the tunic, it is really "sumptuous", it has visual texture and doesn't need any gold.
This really is a cracker, Peter, back at the top of your game again with the bigger 1:10 busts.
Still awful weather here, the cricket has been washed out, so it seems we are ALL getting wet!
No let up either for the next few days too!
Enjoy your visitors and the painting when you can
Regards

Morning Steve
Glad you like the way this is turning out. I must say, I'm enjoying doing it - the scope available after 1/16 seems huge.
First appointment at foot clinic today - don't ask, suffice to say that the poor old dog has been missing out on his walks of late.

Hi Peter
Have fun at the foot clinic. Did you say grand child was visiting as well? Anything like mine and although I love to spend time with her the wife and I need a day to recover!!
...... and she's a good, well behaved little girl.
I love this bust. Your painting is pure quality and the subject is quirky and colourful. Good luck with the shield - you'll sort it.

Hi Jim
Had a lot of trouble with my feet in the last year or so, and being diabetic, it's something I have to be careful of - I hate ageing!!
Granddaughter is 11 months old and quite a handful, though wonderful of course. She and my daughter will be here for a week or so, so major exhaustion beckons (my daughter is perhaps harder work!)..
Glad you like the bust - the shield is working out so far.

Hi Peter
Sorry about the rather flippant comment about the foot clinic. I did not realise that it was 'medical'. I go to a foot care lady just for cossetting and I thought your visit was the same. I hope your visit shows all is well.

No problem Jim - Upshot of the visit is an appointment to see a specialist in a couple of weeks time.
Here is the front of the shield so far:
The quarters and diagonals were first drawn on with a pencil, then the paint was applied freehand. For once, the Miniart decals went on like a dream. I've added a bit of weathering and may do a bit more

Shield looks great. It will really complement the bust.

Jim - Thanks, it will of course be facing backwards, which is perhaps a bonus.
John - Very kind of you. Verlinden have managed to put a lot of character into the sculpt, which always makes things easier.

Hi Richard. Glad you like this chap. It's getting hard to find these Verlinden busts now - Historex are selling the last of their stocks off at £18.85 and there aren't many left.
Sorry that the eyes are playing you up - hopefully the tests will not reveal too much damage. My eyes are pretty bad focus wise now, and I find myself working without glasses and in extreme close up most of the time. I can only really get a proper look at my work through reading glasses - bit of a weird situation..

Hi Peter
Up there with my favourites of yours. The shield makes interest from all viewpoints rather like the equipment on a modern soldier.

Freaky looking get-up indeed. I would imagine this was more private attire than uniform - they tried to out-do eachother in flamboyance, a bit like the Landsknechts.
