Due to some issues with the sculpt I decided to add some scars on his left cheek to hide some of them.

Gallery - The Veteran
Another finished piece, medieval knight bust from JMD miniatures, which I called The Veteran.

Knight bust - finished or not?
As the title asks, what do you think? Is it finished or not?
I'd most certainly like to say it's ready to go on the shelf. But sadly I think I lost my perspective here. I guess I need to put it on a side for a few days, and then revisit it with fresh eye.
But if you see any places that could be improoved, please let me know:D

One step closer
And again long break from posting. For some reason I struggle to write anything lately. I hope it's just a phase and will pass soon, but for now I'd like to show you what I've done lately with my two beautiful bust.
So here they are, my two boys: medieval Knight and ein Stein:D
Like you can see there is still lots to do, but I guess I'm going into the right direction. Orc bust is more or less ready, just few touch ups left to be done (teeth for example). Knight is a bit less advanced, more needs to be done, but I'm almost happy with the face, so rest should be easy. I might repaint his tunic though, as I'm still not totally convinced with the colour here.
cheers

Medieval bust - what I've done so far.
Of course I coulnd't keep my hands of this beautiful medieval knight...
And here you can see the results so far, in few stages.
First you can see how I handled the hauberk.
I must say I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I might tweak it a bit later on when the rest of the bust is painted, maybe some rust here and there, but for now it's ready.
When the metal parts were ready, I moved to leathers, leaving the toughest for me part, skin, at the end. But then I remembered that I decided I want some scars on his face.
So he has scars now.To create them I used liquid Green Stuff from GW. And while working on them I tried to fix the hole next to his left eye.
To show you how the scars are looking without the distraction of gren colour, there is one photo in b/w at the end.
To be honest with you I wasn't really sure if I like the scars at this stage. The green was way to distracting. But after painting first layers of skin colour, it all came together very nicelly.
Of course the skin is not even close being ready, but you can see how nicelly the scars are blending in. And thanks to the one going through his eye, I can paint it with a cataract, to make him look even more like an old battered warrior.
Eyes look weird at the moment I know, but I need to repaint them.

JMD week (or maybe even a little more)
I guess everyone heard already, that JMD Miniatures is closing with the end of August. It is a very sad news indeed, but also can be treated as a great excuse to buy some of their beautiful models. At least for me it was a good reason to do some long overdue shopping. I was delaying this for quite a while, thinking that it's still time, that I still have a while to upgrade my skills. And of course, it's hard to deny that my massive 'grey army', or like as I call it 'Mountain of Resin and Lead', had something to do with that delay.
But now , facing the closure of the company, I had no other choice than to make a purchase.
I decided to go not only for fantasy classics like the Persian Assassin, or Pencil Head, but also for some historical pieces. In fact 2/3 of my order are historical miniatures, most probably less known to the wargaming crowd. So I thought maybe I could review all of my JMD minis here, just in case someone is considering making an order (there is still a while to do that).
Because the time is very limited here, over the next weak or two, you can expect one review a day, alongside some updates on my painting. For starters I'd like to remind you a review I did a while ago on one of my first JMD minis: Succubus
Where to buy:
If you like you can buy these miniatures directly from the JMD website, but I got mine almost exclusively from Steve Kirtley, who runs an online shop SKminiatuers. Mostly because I don't really speak any french, and I do preffer more personal contact.
Review list:
Succubus
Medieval bust
Sikh bust
Yodleur Des Cascades (aka Pencil head)
Demon
