No I'm not talking about the band, but the great Viking bust my wife got for me for Christmas, she must have picked it up when we visited the Viking museum in York. Is it designed for painting, no, but since when has that ever stopped me !LOL I went for historical colors, as we all know I don't paint much historical's
Was very pleased with the hair and cloak on this one. I've also finished my pledge for join-annes-2026-miniature-assembly-challenge with the second half of the second Stormtrooper squad, and two 7 man squads of scout troopers.
Talking of busted, I may be a little slower for the next couple of months, some of you may recall I was having trouble with my right hand last year, well I had a procedure on Saturday to un trap a nerve in my elbow, which was causing the problem, this is normally done under general anesthetic, but because of my form of cancer, they could only do a local, this meant I got to be awake for the whole thing, did mean I could leave sooner after the procedure though ! LOL They said it can take up two months to notice any change, but will try to get back to painting before that, this was also the reason I was late commenting on your blogs.
That's all for today, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Really great looking viking bust sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael, it's only the third bust I've painted, might need to sculpt some more, so I've got more to paint ! LOL
DeleteGreat work on the Viking, Dave. It looks really nice and was clearly meant for painting! :) I'm glad the surgery went well though that does sound pretty nerve wracking to me. I would have to look away the entire time! I hope you have a speedy recovery and I'll look forward to seeing more miniatures and hearing from you when you feel up to it!
