T.E. Lawrence 1917 - Finished!

Posted by Bucksco on Friday, August 7, 2020 2:27 PM

Finally finished Arens!

Probably add a little dust to his Abaya (robe) but other than that I'm pretty satisfied with him.

Just needs Tony Quinn and Omar Sherif, and perhaps Alec Guiness, too.

Bravo, well done.

Hi,

That looks great, especially the detailing of the "fabrics" on the camel and the "gold" trim on his outfit.

Beutiful painting. I particularly like the detail work on the robes and saddle accoutrements. Excellent face work as well. In 54mm some of that work must have been very demanding. What type of paints did you use?

Very, very nice work. I was surprised that he was only a 54mm/1:32 scale figure. He looks like he might be a 200mm figure. Well done.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, Jack! Looks great!

The position of your lighting makes my brain think he is stopped under a streetlamp!

Excellent work!
