Covid-19 Operator - 1:10 ScientificModels

[Marcin M.]

Hi, guys!
A well-known bust.
I couldn't resist and bought it. Limited edition (70 pieces worldwide), income donated to help one of the Italian hospitals.
In addition to a perfectly cast figurine, in the box I also found a cover letter of the action, a company advertisement and pictures painted by Italian artists taking part in the action.
I'm glad that I could help.
Mine is #61. It'll be in orange suit.

Stay safe!

Thanks David,

But painting the transparent glass in the goggles will be a real challenge  

[cobraman]

That looks so good. Great looking eyes. Maybe you could drill out the goggles and use some clear sheet plastic for the lens ?

Excellent idea!

I would certainly consider that.

That'll be way too easy! The challenge for me is to get the impression of transparency by painting.

[cobraman]

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

You've got skills.....there's no doubt about that. Great progress Marcin.

[Marcin M.]

Thank you guys for your support!

I'm starting right now to play with goggles. I use the works of Andrzej A. Sadowski, an artist who died in 2016, a photorealist, his works are amazing.

Base paint, mixed with black and gray, depending on the location on the glass of the goggles.

It's a long way to Tipperary...

I am very interested in how you will be able to pull this off.

and I'll second that motion on the second one.

And the great work continues.....

[Marcin M.]

Thank you guys!

I tried also drybrush, but the effect was shitty...

So, after trying to paint a single-color lens, I went back to the beginning, with some tweaks:

What do you think?

I must say it looks much better than I thought could be done with paint.  Good job ! I believe you pulled it off !
