1/10 Roy Urquhart Bust

[Guest]

Lets see how this one goes. Another donation by Richard, and a 1/10 bust of Roy Urquhart (not disguised as Sean Connery this time). I believe it's by Wyrd Games, who normally produce gaming figures.

Another nicely sculpted bust:



He's in full jump gear, which I suppose he would have been for landing, though normally he's shown without the packs and wearing a beret.

bring it on , Peter :thumb2:

Will do Neil.

Here's the head:



This was a much better experience. The face was nicer to paint than I'd anticipated, being very cleanly sculpted and cast. There were some slight lumps on the right cheek, which given the overall finish I've assumed were deliberate and have made into a scar (no idea if Urquhart had one or not). Phew, back on track!

Morning Peter

A fresh and blustery day up here, good for washing but it was all done yesterday LOL

Good start and a good likeness too.

The box art is very grubby, like he has jumped into a mire!

Denison camo, but not too much with all the gear.

Its Bank Holiday!!

Enjoy the the smock and have a good weekend

Regards

Hi Steve

The box art is odd - very extreme highlighting, a bit like Constable 'snow'. Your comment reminds me of a story about my grandfather, who was a sergeant in the Malmesbury E K Cole (evacuated war works factory) Home Guard. They were on a night time exercise when he saw what he assumed was a tarmac road surface shimmering in the moonlight. He jumped down and disappeared into a duck-weed strewn dyke. He was a bit of a one for tall stories, but my grandmother confirmed this one as she had to clean his uniform in the bath.

Bright and breezy here. Probably the helmet today.

[Guest]

I decided to get on with the torso instead of the helmet.



Still the back and lots of fiddling to do.

[Neil Merryweather]

Oh yes!
I'm really liking this one- seems like you might be too?

[Guest]

Looking great Peter :smiling3:.

[Guest]

I'm liking what I have seen so far Peter. That camo must have been fun. Rick H.

[Guest]

Richard - Cheers and especial thanks for this one. Weren't ''It's all been rather lovely.'' John le Mesurier's final words? Are you trying to tell me something?

Rick - Many thanks. I actually enjoy painting Denison smocks. The pattern is very broad so you can get at each patch of colour separately.

Ive still got to watch the docu on Johns life.Really liked him as actor and such a dignified man,Denison smock doing rather nicely.
