Spanish captain Tercio.

I have started to paint this beautiful bust from the Magerit miniatures brand, a Spanish company that has good pieces in its catalogue.
At the moment I have painted the face with an acrylic and airbrush base paint and then I have continued with brush oils.
Is 1/14 scale bust.

A very impressive model 'portrait' of a veteran soldier; his face is wonderful. I'm sure that this will look fantastic once the painting is complete.

Very nice Santi. Intrigued to see you undercoated in black only to paint over in oils. It just goes to show that there is no right or wrong way to paint. As they say “The proof is in the pudding”, applies perfectly here.

A very promising start to a nicely detailed model. I see a portrait of a war-weary man perhaps facing his own mortality. There is one area of the sculpt that I think may detract; the space running from both sides of the nose through the area between his mouth and cheeks. You may have to do some Trompe l' oiel painting to integrate those sections with the rest of the face. With your talents I'm sure it will come out fine, it just stands out at this early stage.

Fantastic beginning with this spectacular figure, tocayo. Without any doubt it will become a new masterpiece. Go on with it! :thumbup:
