Perfect! The leather looks great and the splash of colour with the blue is excellent.

Morning Peter

Yet again, it has already been said, a real triumph, a simple bust but well presented, excellent finish again.

And quick too!

Some really nice texture on the yoke of the jacket, sculpted and/or painted?

Next victim on the bench, and hopefully some light too as the South East seems to be having some grim weather.

Have a good day from the snowed in North

Regards

Scottie - Thank you. I tried red for the scarf at first, but it looked awful, so blue it was.

John - The Dog's! Thank you.

Andy - Glad you like him.

Steven - Many thanks.

Steve - Morning. We've actually woken up to a dusting of snow, a pretty rare thing in Kent these days. Construction day today, so artificial light will be fine - a 1/16 plastic figure methinks. Glad you like this bloke. I've since fiddled a bit with his brow-line and got it looking tidier and more realistic. He's in the cabinet now. The texture on the jacket came out a bit in the painting, but the varnish has really helped it catch the light.

Another masterpiece Peter. The colour and shading on what is a plain dark jacket is exceptional. He looks suitably cold, as well !!

AN i aggree also Peter as i just had a look through your bust build an for me its something different an JIM i like your Quote below as thats just like me all over
with my music playing the hours just fly by. I do have to go downstairs to make a cup of tea every hour or so but if I didn't limit my time I'm sure I'd be sleeping in that room or divorced very true that as jen says to me when will you be comin down from my model room but when i do come down she is on the phone to her mum or her sister talking about the soaps so i cant win :rolling: :smiling2:

I totally agree. I suppose it is different for modellers who live on their own. My bench is in an upstairs bedroom and with my music playing the hours just fly by. I do have to go downstairs to make a cup of tea every hour or so but if I didn't limit my time I'm sure I'd be sleeping in that room or divorced :rolling: :sad:

Beautifully done Peter, from those scowling eyes to the very authentic looking leather.

Thank you Jim. I'm still tweaking the face, but to such a small degree it's not worth posting new pics.
