Anders Heintz Posted February 2, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 2, 2009 Here is a bust I sculpted/painted a few years back. I's based on a famous picture of a Bud Gardner of Seal Team 1 (whom I tried to contact with no luck). The Tigerstripe pattern I tried to copy if memory serves me well was the 'zig zag' pattern, although this may be wrong! Been a few years since I did this.

cutiger83 Posted February 26, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 26, 2009 Excellent figure! I love the paint job as much as the sculpting. Thanks for sharing...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted March 18, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 18, 2009 Fantastic work . The pattern is lightweight . Your ERDL is a little of ,but I do not think this takes away from your attention to detail . If you painted this from memory then you are a master . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Heintz Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks guys! He was a lot of fun to sculpt and paint. Im not much of a pattern painter, never mind Tigerstripes and ERDL. It was fun to do but tedious! Now I have to paint some ACU stuff though so I guess everything is relative! If I remember correctly, the TS pattern I used for reference was called "Zig Zag" pattern? Not sure exactly though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kammo-man Posted March 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2009 I know the pattern well . It is way more complex than your effort . The green you used reminds me of the lightweight that is all . Go to the tigerstripe thread and you will see what I mean . The ACU patterns also will be a chalenge for you . It is a complex pattern and fools the eye completly . As with all painted schemes you get to know them after a couple of hours work !!! Good luck on your next project . I cant wait to see more of your work . owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
