Vietnam GI ...200mm Verlinden bust

This is looking very nice. I would like to do some large busts, but like you i have never been able to get good faces. I find it hard to do good ones in 35th scale, so that has always put me off larger scales.

Yep, I am , or was, the same way as you. Hated doing faces in 1/35 and thought larger scales would be even harder. But with 90mm and larger you have more surface area to paint, and you can see what your doing. Well at least that's what I've come up with to convince myself to try a fig. LOL

I got this and two other busts on ebay real cheap, direct from Verlinden., paid less than $15 each, can't go wrong at that price.

cheers

Well i am going to try and improve my 1/35th faces first, got a few dio's to finish. Then i will try a larger bust. Have seen a few Roman and WW2 german ones i like the look of.

Deffinatly a nice price.  Might have to try that myself.

Oops!  You have been bookmarked!  It is going to be good... always wanted to do one of those big busts especially one for WWII US paratrooper.  Great toot so far... thanks for sharing!

I am going to keep my eye on this one. The uniform looks great. Tones look perfect.

For the face, Bodge did an amazing german figure in 1/10 from Young Miniatures and did a good face painting toot at the beginning.

Here is the LINK.

It helped me a lot when I was learning how to paint faces.
