Carlota Empress Consort of Mexico 1864-1867
Painting this 1/10 scale bust was a pleasure. Was able to use many paints that I had never opened until they were needed on this piece. Must say painting lady's is a challenge. Painted with acrylic's and used printers inks on the metal. This bust was sculpted by Carl Reid and is in the www.unitedempireminiatures.com line.

The Lion Hunter
My recently finished bust. I Painted it with acrylics and I used printers inks on the metals. This 1/9 scale bust was sculpted by Polish sculptor Grzegorz Kapiec. The master was unfinished when I acquired it for United Empire Miniatures. I then over a period of time completed it so it could be cast and added to the United Empire Miniatures line of figures. The bust is some what based on a the character Allan Quatermain "The Lion Hunter". This bust was a fun one to paint, I enjoyed it as it has so different things to paint..... Mike
