    Che.

    Hi all,
    I’ve made a start on another bust and this time it’s a 1/10 of Che Guevara by Life miniatures. It’s a fairly simple figure with only two parts and it comes with a painting guide which I have used for reference rather than anything else as I just can’t grasp the technique they promote.
    Anyway this is where I am at the moment ... I’m not sure if the eyes are correct at the moment... maybe the irises are too small so I may be doing them again....The hair and beret are just blocked in for now but hopefully more progress soon!

          Very nice work indeed Jason. Funnily enough I nearly bought this one earlier today, but got distracted.

              Thanks Peter... I doubt this would keep you occupied for long at your pace as there’s very little to it beyond the skin tones

                Busy day home schooling ...so just the hat and hair done!
                I’ve darkened the eyes slightly as he was a bit “stare-y” so I’m a bit happier with it ... and thinned out the beard slightly....

                          Thanks all. It’s very much appreciated... This is my third bust in about 6 weeks...normally it takes me about 3-4 months to finish one...I suppose it’s an unexpected consequence of being at home much more?...Problem is my bust stash has become seriously depleted so I will have to scour the boxes for something to do next.... oh well if that’s the only thing I have to worry about I suppose I’m not doing too badly!
                          Thanks
                          Jason

                              Thanks Neil,
                              I've tinkered with the eyes all day and have made some minor changes since posting these pics... there was not enough definition around them and a little too much of the white part on the right eye...
                              Thanks again.
