Recommended Posts

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 :wink:  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

Absolutely stunning!

 

Where do you find the time to create such beautiful busts while at the same time completing your aircraft masterpieces???

Cracking work Giorgio, & the new photo's against that background really show him off to his best advantage!

 

Great painting skills on display!

Thanks Keith! :thumbsup:

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 :wink:

As ever, Giorgio, you have demonstrated that you have an amazing talent for figure modelling/painting. Stunningly realistic finish. Very well done. :worthy::worthy:

Kind regards,

crikes - that really does look like the man himself - great paint work there - I have to constantly take my hat off to you figure / bust modellers - it is a true art in itself and something I wish I had confidence in

Cheers GS :thumbsup: Most of it is just a matter of studying techniques, watching tutorials and ... trying :wink: For me, at least.

 

Ciao
