JackG Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 This was a generic resin bust from Nocturna Models in 1/12 scale. Clothes were made from Green Stuff and Apoxie Sculpt putties. Hair was created from viscose fiber material. regards, Jack 34 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Excellent. Very convincing hair, complexion and a resolute air about her. Well done. Cheers Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Modelling in its sheer essence! Outstanding and absolutely realistic, top to bottom. The paint job is simply amazing; apart form the "obvious" things, like eyes and skin tones, the details set this off - like the absolutely true-to-life eyebrows and hair. My hat's off to you , sir!

593jones Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Superb job of modelling and painting. Amazing skin tones! Well done!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Thank you Graham, Chris, and 593jones. Skin tones initially started with a dark green primer overall, with some lighter green sprayed over the top simulating the light source. Some of the green can still be seen on the undersides like her brow, lower lip, chin and jaw line. Over this was sprayed Base Flesh, followed with Natural Flesh from top, again like it were a light source. Then the small brush work began. I heavily relied on my fingertip to feather the brush strokes. This was the paint I used for the flesh, which is essentially Vallejo brand: There is actually two sets of colours in the box, but I used almost all of them as those on the left column give a more red hue to the skin. regards, Jack 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clive_t Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Wow! I was impressed with the photos; until I saw the last one I thought it was a moulded kit! Having seen what you had to do in order to get the hair, eyebrows, uniform on... Stunning! Beautiful painting too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Stunning, I remember a while back when you said you were going to alter the mouth of the Nocturna bust, well I think I read it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackG Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thank you Bigglesof266 and Colin. Yes, the original bust had her mouth slightly opened, so I sawed off the lower jaw, and then built up the lips somewhat and puttied over the seams once the jaw was back in place. The reason for closing the mouth was influenced by the period photo I was using as a reference (and inspiration). regards, Jack 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
