Cutting, sanding, sculpting, filling...is impossible to do as my fractured bones need to cure first. Painting however is possible if I take a break every now and then, so I picked up this thread and move on with at least something hobby related.
I'm ready to carefully brushpaint the bust with enamels to start with.
A pic follows soon chaps.

It was about time Paul, June 6 is near. I hope to get it done by then but the goal is to get it finished to remember Mark, a deceased friend who gave me this bust as a token of our friendship. The head was given two coats of enamel paint. It will be finished with oils.   |

It's an oldie but a good one for sure Paul. I'll be having a lot of fun doing the paint job.
The M42 jumpsuit base colour was applied as well.

Pete, Tommy, Boots, Marco, beano, thank you guys. A bit more basic fiddling was done with enamels, I can't paint longer than 30 minutes in this shite condition but those 30 minutes make me a happy Guy.  |
