Red Five Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 (edited) This was the first bust and larger than 35th scale I ever attempted. Really enjoyed the change of techniques and learned alot to take back to smaller scale. Hope you enjoy. Apologies for the cheesy watermark too. I had to do it for a time as some random russian was selling my images as his own 😂 Edited January 18, 2020 by Red Five 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really happy how he turned out for my first attempt. Gave him to my dad as he loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c0ldethey Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Very well done. Busts are very good presents 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nheather Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Absolutely stunning, I’m in awe. The only minor criticism, and this is probably a criticism of the paints at that large scale rather than your skills, is that whilst everything else looks so realistic the sword doesn’t look like metal. Cheers, Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Nigel Yeah. It was my first go to be honest. It's quite hard to get decent effect brush painting. Needed to use a chrome airbrushed or something but thanks for the feedback.

Ratch Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Very nicely painted, but I thought the dragoons had replaced their Tarleton helmets long before Waterloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit- Turns out youre right no they didnt wear them (Think it was around the 1812 mark upon wellingtons insistance that the shako shape was easier to distinguish than uniform colours in the fog of battle) at waterloo or rather there was very little chance of it as theyd been phased out but some MAY have still had them but slim chance, yet some of the artillery did. Weirdly they re adopted them i think later in the centry? Easy fixed. Ill just name him British Light Dragoon 1805 or something haha Thanks for pointing it out.
