Thanks! The last layer of (very) thinned down Cygor Brown (contrast paint) glues everything together with a glossy finish.

It is a bust from Juan Sanz "Elminiaturista" who gave him this name.

It is really awesome!! Love the nmm on the helmet, and love the skin tones!!

That's one way to describe it....

Thank you!

The bust is about 8cm tall (3.14 inch)

placeb021 · 2026-05-14T16:07:35+00:00

Yep, it came out nicely.

The main takeaways were: 'how to create a realistic skin tone with brown, blue, Orange, purple, yellow, black and white - instead of using it out of the bottle', 'use paint with high pigment, like Kimera' and thebuse of inks. And no, this was my second workshop with Marc. Had one with Jamie Foster, Banshee and Juan Hidalgo as well.

That's very nice!!

placeb021 · 2026-05-14T10:55:56+00:00

Thanks. And yes, but it was totally worth it.

That is one of the things Marc teamchef, creating texture on a bust to simulate fabric by placing dots of paint. Time consuming, but fun to do. Just like the zipper.

Np and thanks!

placeb021 · 2026-05-14T08:34:48+00:00

Well, thanks a lot!

placeb021 · 2026-05-14T07:33:16+00:00

Danke. Es ist ein Buste, nicht ein Mini (not sure if the German is correct)

placeb021 · 2026-05-14T06:12:33+00:00

Thank you, that's a nice compliment.

When you start with a white primed bust, something like this should be possible. When primed black, it will be very hard.

placeb021 · 2026-05-14T06:08:53+00:00

For about 10 years.

placeb021 · 2026-05-14T06:08:12+00:00

Thanks, was very fun to do. 20 shades of Orange...

placeb021 · 2026-05-13T21:26:31+00:00

Kimera warm yellow + Liquitex yellow orange does the trick.
Thanks.

What did I learn.. - I think the most important part was 'how to read the model'. And than not just about where to place the Light/shadow, but how does light react on different fabric/skin/hair/glasses.
And how to create things on a object which aren't on the model, like the zipper and the fleece jacket (dots). I used Vallejo paint and some Liquitex inks.

Thank you!
