Misterfriend Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I haven't posted in this section before, mainly I do old planes and older figures, but thought you might like this. This a bust of Alexey Leonov, first man to walk in space. The piece is from 2Dreamers and was an absolute pleasure to paint. Thanks for looking!

Eric Mc Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thank you. They'd make a nice pairing at a show. Pity you're 5 thousand miles away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I was expecting the ship from 2010, but this is way better. Absolutely lovely bust - your style is very "painterly" for want of a better word. Love it. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomMajor Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Where did you get the cccp decal from, did it come with the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCCP is suppled as a paint mask which is nice. The only problem was it wasn't great at adhering to the dome shape, too complex a curve for it but with a little touch up it looked nice. They supply another mask for masking the clear visor but I couldn't get that to stick at all so I made my own for that. I needed to mask it twice anyway as I wanted to spray the seal around the mask too and then spray the white leaving a slight rim of black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Like Will I was expecting the 2010 version rather than the original. Magnificent paintwork and a very cool subject. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
