Nice work as normal with great tips on the painting thank you Scott

[@SmallSoldier]

Thanks, Greg... and your welcome!

Nice sculpt. Is this the one based on Robin Williams?. Great brush work on the details. Lovely to see

[@SmallSoldier]

Thanks, Steve. No, it's a mish-mash taken from a photo of a British Navy Stoker combined with a US Navy sailor. Not historically accurate. It is however based on the real guy. www.snopes.com/fact-check/frank-rocky-fiegel-popeye/

Wooow, it's POPYE !!! Dude.

[@SmallSoldier]

[@mariocueva8700]

As a child Popeye was my favourite cartoon. That was a reeealy long time ago. LOL. Awesome figure Scott, looking forward to the next instalment.

[@SmallSoldier]

Thanks, Mario! Cheers!

[@johnaitken7430]

Nice Scott...I will try detailing first then oils

[@SmallSoldier]

Thanks, man! Yes, I find it to be easier that way.

[@johnaitken7430]

If I screwup I know who to blame!

[@cygnusx10]

I was never the biggest fan of the Popeye cartoons, but this isn't really anything to do with them. It looks like a nice sculpt. Great work so far, he looks like he's coming along just fine. Great vid thanks for sharing and looking forward to next part.

[@SmallSoldier]

thanks, my friend! 😊

You sculpted quite a 'dixie cup' at 3:45 haha what's so cool about it is I understand the US Navy sailors often "sculpted" their own hats to personalize them and make them their own. I guess no two were the same! Anyway, I really like the idea of pre-shading lights and shadows with flesh tones out of an airbrush. Seems like you can cut to the chase faster than pre-shading using black and white. See you in the next one! :D

[@SmallSoldier]

Thanks, man! Pre-shading is one of the many techniques I use. I'll probably do a video on other ways of prepping and painting figures as well... ie: acrylics and enamels.

Is lacquer thinner safe to use indoors without an extractor? I know lacquer paints themselves REALLY need both a respirator and an extractor, but what about Mr levelling thinner with normal acrylic paints, would a mask be fine on its own?

[@SmallSoldier]

I'd say no unless you have a good source of ventilation from a window. MLT is just as harsh smelling as regular lacquer thinner it's just a lot less hot. I'd say at minimum try and open a window with a respirator on and don't use it near a furnace or anywhere that could ignite something.

[@sloppyjoe400]

Hmmm the current figure im working i primed in black, wondering now if i should have primed in white..

[@SmallSoldier]

It all depends on what style you're going for.

[@jzghostrider66]

What I yam is POPEYE the SAILOR MAN
