He looks amazing and the hat looks perfect really nice job Steve

Very good skin tones Steve. Been out in the sun but not over done. Nice work on the hat!

Cheers, thats the look i was going for  xD . In all honesty the base coat was to dark, so had to work with what i put down, or strip it all off. Could try and lighten everything but i would probably make a hash of things and he would like he had gone mad with the Mascara - not something that would have happened back in 1915.

Thanks for all the very kind comments

Latest Update –


Small subtle sweat stains added above and below the band and stain drops added onto the hat





Shirt has seen better days (doubt Daz, Fairy, Persil could shift those sweaty dirty stains)





Painted the leather belt and pouches; used various revel shades of browns and ochre colours, brass buttons and buckle painted in and then to blend it all together a wash of Tamiya smoke. Hopefully get a matt varnish on the rest of the bust over the weekend and then mount on a plinth.
