Erwin LeetinkHi hombres,
Some time ago I purchased the Life Miniatures 1:10 bust of a RAF Pilot, named "The Few". A few weeks ago I decided to try my hand at it. Part of the fun was collecting the pictures of the various pieces of equipment. Since I pained only smaller scale figs thus far, the figure provided me with a new type of challenge. Since the execellent sculpt shows the serveral layers that comprise the clothing and equipment, it took me a bit to find out what layer is what. I also wanted to portray the dog in the black and white variant, as opposed to the more common brown one. I painted dogs before, but again not in this scale.
Anyway, on to the pics. I hope you like them 🙂

Mr JamesWow... That is expertly painted. The skin tones and the eyes are superb. An excellent job Erwin.

DoubtingmangoThe pilot is fantastic! Not to take anything away from that work, but the dog is incredible! Don't get to see many animals done at that scale, and you pulled off a completely life-like face and coat on the dog.

Erwin LeetinkThank you very much for the kind words. It was a pleasure to paint. I wanted to paint it in a different colour than the standard brown and decided to paint it a black /grey /white colour. I studied pics intensively and came up with this. I am very satisfied with the results.

Michael KohlPretty good result for a first try on this kind of challenge. I acquired a bust of a nepalese boy and gather now information on techniques and - most of all - courage to tackle that endeavor.

Michael KohlPretty good result for a first try on this kind of task.
I acquired a bust of a Nepalese boy and gather now the same kind of information you've been looking for. But first of all I gather courage to tackle that completely new challenge.
