Hi Peter
That is superb. A very steady hand and a fine brush needed for all the stitching.

Lovely result Peter, neat shade work on the flight suit and face :thumb2: :thumb2:

Great to read that the test was negative too:thumb2:

Scottie - At least you won't be hanging around. Thanks for looking in.

Jim - Many thanks. I must admit that I've got a bit of a headache after all of that detailing.

Fernando - Glad you like him. Thanks re the test.

[JayCee]

Very, Very well done Peter. The level of detail is incredible . Good news on the test front too.

John.

Morning Peter

Hopefully the headache has gone after a good nights sleep?

I have to say the subtle colour variation and super fine detailing are quite something, and a headache isn't an unexpected consequence after all the effort you much have put in.

This has got to to be in the top 3 busts you have done this year?

I guess it would be a good change for something less detailed and with a greater colour palette too, give your eyes a rest.

Hopefully a good day choosing the next victim

Enjoy the day

John - Thank you. It's a brilliant sculpt and was lovely to work on.

Andy - Many thanks that man.

Steve - I an pleased with the way this turned out. In my book, if the sculptor has taken the time to provide the detail then you're beholden to paint it. Still feeling pretty grotty with the 'flu, with a hyper added on top, which didn't help, so will try something easier next.

Lovely painting Peter :smiling3:.

Glad you like him Ralph. The helmet decals arrived and they're too small - more like 120mm than 200mm, dammit. Looks like I'll have to paint in the eagle at some stage after all.

[Guest]

That's a shame,nevermind your painting skills are good enough :smiling3:.

Great work again Peter. I always smile when I see your work, and think "how the he'll does he do that"

[Guest]

Ralph - I've used a slightly smaller decal for the the helmet. It'll do for now.

Colin - Glad you like him. Quite a lot of work involved in this one, but good fun to do.
