Well well well. Fantastic to see you pushing the boundaries. With your brush skills i'm sure it will be a winner. Good luck

 

[Guest]

No hanging about there Pete!

I like these Mitches 'V' busts by Pavol Ovecka. I believe this is meant to be Shia Labeauf in 'Glory'.

Hi Simon it's actually a second the zip was missing in some parts so I removed it completely, I got it at a show for £10 so thought I would have ago as I've never even tried doing a figure/ burst before.

As for the bench it needs cleaning I know.
