Evening Peter,
Awesome work. Those sculpts have loads of character and you’ve certainly done them justice.

Morning Peter
Superb work and good to see the pair together.
Joe seems to have mellowed a little too.
You have been a busy beaver over the weekend.
Friday was crazy with the cat ladies and Girl on a Train was very well done too.
Except for being mugged for parking, twice, it has been busy and two very late nights in one weekend.
Back to work for a rest LOL
My knee isn't co-operating either, it going to be a long 3 weeks to my surgeons appointment.
Work is getting to literally be a pain!
Have a good day with Adolf
Regards

Si - A 12! Thank you sir.
Pete - I never think of superlatives with my work, rather the opposite.
Steve - Glad Friday went well - no wonder the knee's wearing out with all that partying.
I found myself working on Joe's brow again last night. It's now the best I can get it but it still niggles. Hopefully I'll forget about it as I work on the next one. 'Have fun with Adolf' is not something you say to someone every day is it?!Comment

Not so sure I had a good day with Adolf:
A real pig to do. This one was not as well finished as the other two, particularly around the eyes, where some of the crucial parts, like the upper eyelids, had quite an uneven finish. In the past I would probably have abandoned it, but I'm slowly learning to pull back and consider the thing as a whole before I do anything rash.
I attached my scratched visor before finishing, which was just as well as it completely changed the play of light over the face. That meant repainting areas under the shadow, and adding more highlights where the face emerged into the light.Comment

Morning Peter
Adolf looks good from here, and a more popular name than Genghis or Attila!
I work with a Vlad, but he uses his middle name!
Adolf seems to be less pruney that the other two, too.
Its a very popular image and is instantly recognisable, and nice work on the scratched visor.
Should be another good day for good light, we have a blood red sun rise with a snowman blue sky, up't North.
Have fun with the paint
Regards

Morning Steve
How to destroy the use of a perfectly innocuous first name - become a dictator!
This one looks better in the morning light, though some adjustments are needed. Did some research on the uniform and found that, as a Generaleutnant he'd have gold braid and white facings. He's just wearing a white shirt under the black leather coat, which simplifies things.
Weird weather at the moment, but the light is better today - very gloomy yesterday.Comment

I think that's the head done:

Hi Peter
I like him :tongue-out3: He'll certainly fit in with the other two.

Thank Jim.
As this one didn't quite have the quality of the other two, which meant that I was losing interest, I decided to get him finished:
The yellowish light is a reflection of the sunlight coming through the blinds. I decided to leave the leather coat slightly glossy, hence the effect.
I'll photograph all three together now:Comment

Great stuff, the leather is stunning.
JimComment

Thanks Jim.
The leather was fairly easy to do - just dry-brushing German grey, then basalt grey over black, then picking out the detail. The sculptor has done himself proud with the texture.
OK, here they are:
Pretty enjoyable to do, though my energy and enthusiasm was running out towards the end. I think that if I do another trio in the future I'll do each between other builds.Comment

A jolly nice collection Peter.Usual high standard of painting as to be expected.The sculptor likes his wrinkles certainly.Galland is an odd looking dude.
