200mm Katsumato Bust

Morning Peter

Fully rested after a day off?

Looks like a clear bright day with the anticipated heat wave to come!

Back to the E-mails this morning and a longer shift too, 10-3 this week.

Have fun with the body, looks complex!

Regards

Hi Steve

Yes, a day off was needed, so we had a trip to Tankerton:



A long walk and a paddle with the dog, and now I'm ready to continue with the figure. I may add a bit more colour to it than the various blacks shown in the reference - perhaps pick out the stitching? Have a good day at the 'office'.

Morning Peter

Perhaps a good day to paint?

Its my last 4 day week this week, so a little modelling will be a treat.

The mini heatwave seems to be arriving slowly, 16 C at 5 am, phew that was a warm start.

Off to scribe some figures and work on my road.

Hopefully a good day to start the body of the bust.

A bright palette or subdued?

Have a good day either way

Regards

As Jim says one of your best heads. How are you going about the armour? All plain metal or a bit of colour as well? I say armour or is it padded leather?

[Guest]

Hi the Steves.

It's been shelved. I found the armour impossible to paint cleanly. I tried various methods, but the finish on the sculpt wasn't great and it just kept ending up a complete mess.

I'm going to lay off posting anything until I get something decently finished.

We're with you through the good times and the bad Peter. I'm sure it will come good again soon.

The head was awesome. Can you recycle that bit??

Peter,
Sorry to hear your not happy with it, but you are your own best judge. I look forward to seeing you post again. Be good.
