Jason - Thank you.

Richard - Busts are a bit too quick for me. Not really as much value for money as full figures.

Steve - Great fun to paint this one. Leather is another one where a common trope is to always have it as worn as possible. I have done that on other figures, but my perverse attitude makes me paint it as relatively new and shiny - it would be polished and cared for after all - also, our chap looks like he's been tidied up for a medal ceremony and a publicity photo.

Hi Peter
Beautifully painted. Something quite disturbing seeing children with weapons. I watched a documentary a while ago about child soldiers in the Congo and it was very upsetting.

Ralph - Glad you like him.

Jim - Thanks. Yes, children and war don't mix. The thought of my own kids having to witness what so many have gone through is something I find hard to contemplate, to say the least.
