War Bonnet-Part 8- Finishing Up The Head

I don't know which I should be more afraid of ..... that guy with all the feathers or those two smiling Leprechauns. That's Miriam on the left and Hannah on the right and they're our Grandkids visiting from Bahrain. They stood on each side of me while I applied the finishing touches to the Warrior's face so if the lines are a little squiggley blame them not me!

In a comment Arnie ask how I was going to hide the glue line down the center of the nose. Well, the steps outlined here take care of half of that problem. The rest will be hidden at the very end of the project.

Do a little research to find some nice beading patterns and carefully paint them on. You can see that just painting the head and bonnet this figure is really starting to sparkle with all the colors we're applying. I can just imagine what he'll look like as the end gets nearer.

Lots of photos after the jump to the Gallery.
