Here I start my most ambitious project to date. I decided to go to the MMSI show in the Chicago burbs on Oct. 23rd-25th. I have a few miniatures to bring to the show but I thought I would paint something brand new just for the event. And with only two weeks time, for some reason, I decided this bust would be it. I must be crazy.
Here is the bust all cleaned up and ready to paint.
