giemme Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 (edited) Hi everybody; here's the lovely Mitchell Military Models Roman General Bust in 1/9. Outstading resin model, only two parts (head an torso), making for a boatload of painting fun Huge value for the money, if you ask me, and my thanks to Ross Mitchel for the really kind service. Thanks also to everybody followed and contributed to the WIP thread, which can be found here: On with the pics: This bust has been painted mainly with Lifecolor and Italeri acrylics, plus a few other paints for metallic parts; the black base coat was airbrushed, and so was the steel shoulder armor and the face base coat. All the rest is brush painted. Any comments welcome, hope you enjoy it. Ciao Edited September 11, 2017 by giemme 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great painting skills on display! Keith Thanks Keith! I very much prefer the pics with this background too, and it was all a matter of luck being able to attain that effect. Those photos haven't been edited at all, except for clipping them to size, and the lights I used are the roof ones in my garage, with the addition of a table lamp to illuminate the bottom part of the backdrop. I think I'll be using that photo set more and more Ciao Edited September 16, 2017 by giemme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
