As my paining mojo has been in hiding for a while , and I really did not fancy tackling a horde of 28mm figures I have been looking for something interesting to have a go at. While I was on a supplier website I came across a 100mm bust of Lord Lovat the commander of the 1st Special Service Brigade on D Day , and thought that might be fun and challenging.
I have spent a few hours today cleaning and assembling - still a bit to do with a rifle to add , but I will do that after most has been panted .
Yes that is a 28mm figure for comparison.
I have no idea how long this will take , but I am looking forward to it.
The casting is a limited edition run made by RP Models.
Very interesting indeed. I occasionally think about stepping up in scale but then hold off, mainly because of space/storage issues. I see no point in painting something like this without being able to display it afterwards.
ReplyDeleteYeah I am going to need another displY cabinet I think...
DeleteA formidable looking piece Dave, and I've little doubt it is going to have pride and place within your significant collection once you've finished it. Plenty of WIP shots please :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking piece - it will be interesting to see how it comes out. It should be good for working on techniques, although how you'll then adapt them to smaller scales is another question altogether.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, it should be interesting
DeleteSlightly different to painting 15 or 28mm! Looks cool.
ReplyDeleteI always fancy painting something like this, but wouldn't know where to start, that combined with my limited attention span would undoubtedly lead to a host of unfinished models cluttering up the house.
ReplyDeleteI will start with the head to give it life and take it from there!
DeleteImpressive model. I´m sure this is going to be a very interesting experience!
