Mongol warlord bust

[Peter Gillson]

Hi Guys

with the Huey safely in a box on a high shelf it is time to go beck to the world of busts. Here is the one i will be painting next; a Mongol Warlord, which will be released under my Sarnia Miniatures brand now our COVID-19 lockdown is starting to be eased. Talking of which - Guernsey has gone just over 2 weeks without any new infections!.


the bust shoud be fun to paint (it was a challenge to sculpt!) with a mixture of cloth, leather, and metal.

Its great to get back to 1/10 scale after my temporarily aborted venture in 1/35th scale. Here is thd result of tonight's efforts:

The face and a start on the cloth of the torso.

Hi Peter.
Nice to hear that Guernseys virus is fairing better now,Dont think our visit to Jersey end of July will materialise.Good to see you back with the busts again.
Stay safe.
Richard.

Nice start on the base Peter. Look forward to seeing how this one ends up.

Hi Peter, he looks an impressive fellow, looking forward to seeing him completed.

Monica, Neil, Steve and Nick - thanks for the supportive comments.

Richard - thanks for the support. The way things are going you may be able to visit Jersey but not Guernsey - they are opening up their economy faster than here in Guernsey. Even though Guernsey has had no new cases of COVID for 21 days, (and only 2 active cases currently) the authorities are keeping in place one key regulation: this is that all people who come to Guernsey have to self-isolate for 2 weeks. I think this has been a key factor in getting the virus under control but it does make holidaying in Guernsey far from attractive!

Sorry Peter, I thought I'd commented on this. It's a great looking bust with some lovely detail; well done.

[Peter Gillson]

Its been a productive day, here is another of the head, with slight refinement of tones:



and of the torso. the leather was painted using Vallejo acrylics as normal but with a couple of washes of oil paint to give it a slight sheen



next; finish the helmet
