Gordon Highlander (completed)


Recommended Posts

Hey folks,

This is my latest finished piece. A couple of firsts with this one; my first bust from Young Miniatures and my first time using a limited palette.

Apart from the metals, the bust was painted using the following palette (all W&N Artisan water mixable oils):

Cad Red Medium
Yellow Ochre
Paynes Grey
Ivory Black
Titanium White

It proved surprisingly versatile and quite liberating and has made this project my most satisfying and stress-free to date, and by a fair margin. Only having 5 paints to think about frees up your mind to concentrate on other aspects of painting and I'd highly recommend giving it a go for at least one piece.

Comments and critique are most welcome, as always :)

Those final "weathering" touch ups made for a really outstanding result! Particularly the dicing and the white straps, and the face too!. Great job.

To obtain this result with 5 paints is truly amazing! It really looks lifelike!

I am not a fan of busts, but you could shift my attitude with such builds!

Congrats
