Six Down, One to go ?

In a week where I mostly looked at and made notes on version 1.4 of the gladiator rules "Blood on the Sands" by Frank Sultana, I did very little else until the weekend. I decided I needed something to post about and decided to finish off Harry Luck (aka Brad Dexter) from the original version of the Magnificent Seven. His clothing was shaded and highlighted and his face done with a bit of a heavy hand as he looked more like Donald Trump than Harry ! I'd forgotten to highlight his face with the pink fleshy bits, but it's all I've got for this week.
 
Here's the photographs:

With the camera flash on I didn't think he looked too bad

Boring side view
Boring other side vew
Really boring rear view


The Magnificen six - and now you see just how 'tanned' poor old Harry/Brad is !

So in a week where I managed to not even really finish a figure I have very little to show.
The 'problem' I have with this project is that I had the realisation that I'll probably never see it all come to fruition and thus my enthusiasm dwindles as time goes on.

Thankd for taking the time to visit and as always comments are welcomed and appreciated.

    Great looking figure Joe, and only one more for the main characters. Don't get disheartened as you are showing good progress on this project.

      Thanks you Michal, they're not bad for toys adopted for gaming.

    Another great cowboy, Joe! As for the whole project, as Dave says don't get yourself down about it; you're making good progress and even a little progress is still progress.

      Thanks Matt, but progress for progress sake is not very heartening.

    Sometimes just doing is all that is required, at least that is why I painted a Soviet Army! Just the last photograph alone is enough for me to keep urging you on, it's looking great!

      Thanks Michael, I think you've summed it up. I'm currently just going through the motions with nothing better on the horizon.

    Good looking six of seven, your last chap just needs a little bit of flesh highlights and then he'll be great!
    Best Iain
