Project : This is Sparta

That's coming along so great there Dem.

Really impressed with the new hair - can't do that for me can you?

Looking forward to the painting

hiya all!

So finally i have completed the eyes.

Here is how i started, with the whites, actually an off white.

not bad, and the simpelest part

next came the deep brown(iris) and centering of the eye balls.....

to be fair this took ages!! but when finally done gave the old spartan a mean jean look

i used a few watered down brown coats to get the shape, trying to get a circle tnot hit the bottom eye lid this i important.

Next came the pupil and detailing, this envolved a tiny black dot...and theres me thinking 1/10 eyes where going to be a bigger space....

but finally, with a little dot in each to indicate light (top left or top right of iris)...

also on an interesting arty farty note, the pupil is located(inline) at the corner of the mouth(left/right)

and a few of these and mayhap some

really chuffed but bloody heck three days and the old spartan looks well a bit grey still haha!

hoping my step by step will help others, as normally i would not bother with eyes on smaller scale and always wanted to give it a go.

Green hair's better than none bro.

Hey that's lookin mean Dem. Don't his eyes remind you of Arnie? Darned good job there mate

Thanks for the pointers - looked at my reflection now and by golly you're right about the pupils lining up with the corners of the mouth

Maybe with enough decal juice he'll look less grey?

Keep up the good work mate

Superb job with the eyes, they look wonderful. He does indeed look mean.

Can I join the queue behind Dean for some new hair?

Cheers

First class work Dem - don't think you need worry about keeping up (thought: wish I was that good)

Can't wait to see the colours being added

Dem old chap!

Very high standard of work! Alpha+

We may not all be equally great at everything, but do I rate your figure work in the top bracket? I do!

Much more of a barnet than another famous Spartan, Telly Savallas!

Pip pip!
