More Figures for Richard

[Guest]

Welcome Fernando and Neil.

Yep, Richard's a bit of a star. I've done two previous threads based on his donations (under Figures Under Construction: WW1 and After) and thoroughly enjoyed the process.

It's a marvellous head, then you realise, it's on the end of nothing more, than a little pencil. Wow.

Well what an assembled audience we have,So many biscuits and crumbs.I think Pelican bibs will be mandatory at this rate.It was a nice surprise at BMSS to meet Neil Merryweather who spotted me and a few of my products.
This forum is amazing and it always is such a comfort to have a great bunch of guys to inspire each other and cameraderie.
Give Peter some room guys or be crumbs in his Paints!!!!
Bless you all.
Richard.

what do you mean the head?
I thought this was a thread about biscuits.....

[Guest]

For goodness sake! Look what happens when I turn my back - crumbs everywhere, orange juice on the floor, the cat's left home, the dog's had a nervous breakdown.....

Much as I like biscuits chaps, being diabetic I can't touch them myself. Lid on the tin now.

OK, back to the figure and I decided to paint the detail around the neck and shoulders so that I could mount the head:



The shoulders and neck are where the two halves of the torso join, so the finish there was not perfect and it took some time to make sense of it all. Once the head was on, I saw that I needed to lighten the tones on the neck as that faced out more than I thought it would.

That's all of the fiddly stuff done, now to enjoy painting the uniform.

[Lee Drennen]

John still hasn’t passed me a biscuit well sounds like the lids on the Biscuits I knew this was going to be a rowdy crowd when I opened this thread Peter seems to attract these kind oh well this build is better than a biscuit anyway

[JR]

No Lee, I've been out looking for the cat !
Peter, looking good ,can understand the reason for painting like that but doesn't bit make the join area harder.

Sorry about the Rabble, but your threads normally cause excitement with the foodies, I remember a while ago a whole page on the merits of fish and chips.
