Hi Folks
Here a re a few photos of the latest bust I have finished, it is of George Dowell VC. he was serving in the Royal Marine artillery.
On 13 July 1855 in theGulof of Finland he was serving aboard HMS Ruby when there was a explosion board a cutter, HMS Arrogant. He went with 3 other men to the cutter to give assistance, saving any lives. for this he was awarded the VC.
The bust was painted using Vallejo acrylic paints, with some highlights added to the face using artists oils. Painting the blue patrol jacket was a bit of a challenge.
