Melbourne Model Expo 2011 - Busts part 2

More busts. I like the ida of the US Marine, one from the Vietnam War, the other from WW2.

The subtle blacks on Captain Ramius are nice too.

Subdued basing also lets the eye dwell upon the busts, rather then drag it away.

With figures, basing does become very much a part of the overall; you have to focus the viewers attention on such a small area, and give it character and life.

Great effort from these artists.
