Young Miniatures Gladiator Bust

[Mickc1440]

I must say Peter the flesh work on this one is up there with the best of your work. The tones, stubble areas and scars look superb.

Many thanks chaps.

A simple 1/16 plastic figure next....

Absolutely stunning! Another PDiddy bust spectacular. What is there not to like. It is a real gem which is up there with your other top busts:thumb2:

As soon as I saw the Latin phrase, "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS" popped straight into my head. One of their all time great sketches:smiling3:

''It says Romans go home.'' ''No it doesn't. Romanes they go the house?'' Have to agree Steve - brilliant.

Glad you like this chap.

Its never to early for a bit of Python

Centurion: But "Romans, go home!" is an order, so you must use the ...?
Brian: The ... imperative.
Centurion: Which is?
Brian: Um, oh, oh, "I", "I"!

Wonderful work Peter. Your painting has always been superb in my eyes but I can see some definite improvement on your blending here....ultra realistic!
Really impressed:thumb2:

Outstanding Peter.The flesh tones are amazing and the helmet tones all add to the piece as a whole.
Another gem for the cabinet.

I think Peter has done us proud. :hungry:



Peter sorry for the intrusion into your blog.
Great finish, watching your work over the last 3 years has been a pleasure.

Cheers Si - I do wish I'd been bolder with the shading on the flesh, but other than that I'm fairly happy with it.

John - Thank you.
