Roman Signifer 1st Century A.D.

This bust was a bit tricky to paint I had to paint parts and assemble the bust as I went. The bear skin hood/ with (sculpting putty fill), cheek plates and leather tie were added after I finished painting the face.The face has a nice scar! The base plate came with the kit. I painted this one with acrylic's and printers inks were used on the metals. this bust was made by Young Miniatures, 1/10 scale.

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. Carlota Empress Consort of Mexico 1864-1867, wife of Maximillian I Emperor of Mexico 1864-1867.
