Chevalier Italian XVI Century

This is my work in process, I have been at this bust for a long time. I think it is very close but still refining. I do believe it the most detailed bust I will ever have a chance to paint. Happy with the progress so far. Chevalier Italian XVI Century, 1/6 scale bust made by Le Cimier, France. Sculpted by JM Danel I do not know of the sculptor but he deserves a medal for his work on this bust.Finest detail I have ever seen on a bust.
The casting was also excellent.

German Paratrooper in winter dress 1942

My latest painted bust, painted with acrylic's. This looked looked fairly straight forward to paint but turned out it was a very challenging bust. My first WWII piece, the bust came with a machine gun but it was not sculpted good so I changed it out for a stick grenade. German Paratrooper in winter dress 1942 or Fallschirmjager in winter dress. 1/9 scale Made by DES Kits France
