Wee Friends 120mm Celtic Warrior

[Steve Jones]

Just made it in before lockdown. Great sub head. Should be all downhill from now on in :smiling5: :thumb2:

Morning Dr Frankenstein Peter

Another successful surgery and well done with the hair and moustache.

I have watched multiple milliput hair sculpting You Tube videos yesterday as all 3 of my tribute figures will need hair do's along with a wardrobe of clothing too!

Looks like a good start for the Celt, and a acre of flesh tone to do.

Its wild, windy and wet here for All Saints day, another typical Autumn day for sure!

Have a good day with the woad too

Regards

Peter. I’ll be watching seated next to John and Steve I’m not sitting between them like last time I’m not taking that bullet again

[Guest]

Richard - Glad you approve of the head change.

Stevie J - It's all uphill unfortunatelty

Steve - Good afternoon. When adding Milliput hair I find it best to make the details fairly basic, then paint in the details. Over-textured hair can be a nightmare unless done really well. Wild and windy here too, but good light by which to get to grips with this chap's flesh.

Lee - Sitting between Stevie J and John is not something for the faint-hearted, I'll admit.

So, the front of the body:

What a nightmare - bare flesh is so hard to paint. The body art was taken from part of a design I found on the internet - it's fairly basic, but I think does enough. I'm going to leave the armbands black to represent jet, as I think that adds some contrast to the flesh. On to his back.

Peter. Looks great flesh tone looks spot on

[Neil Merryweather]

Looking very good ,Peter.
It's not one for the faint-hearted, this one, is it?
You won't catch me trying anything like it any time soon, I can tell you.

Hi Peter
Head works well. Hair style is good. Body is nice tones and the decoration suits. All in all - so far so excellent :smiling:

Lee - Cheers.

Neil - I didn't know what I'd be taking on with this one, for sure.

Jim - Glad you approve of him so far:

Except for the feet, that's all of the flesh done:

Morning Peter

The pale pink suit looks good, a good finish for the auburn haired warrior, and nice art work too with the woad.

Stripy trousers will be a really cool look, in natural colours, what was available in ancient Britain?

Looks like you will have a bright day today and frosts by mid week?

Enjoy the stripes ans light

Regards

Richard - Pumped up and ready for action.

John - Reminds me of someone else:



Steve - I've messed about a bit with the body painting and will do a bit more today. I've decided against stripy trousers as there are a couple of anomalies with the sculpt that would give problems if I went down that route. I have an alternative planned, which should look quite good if it works out. Very stormy night here and a dull start, unfortunately.

Yet more great work Peter. That body art looks like it might have been tricky!:cold-sweat:

[Guest]

Cheers Andrew. The body art has been adjusted to death, but I think I've finally managed to get it to make sense.

I've now painted the legs:

I didn't fancy attempting stripes on the trousers, especially as there were quite a few extra lumps and bumps among the folds. I hope that this solution is interesting and colourful enough - Vallejo Japanese Uniform on one side and Medium Olive Green on the other.

Hi Peter
Love the trousers. A lot of 'drapery' to deal with.
