Looking good Andy, were did you hide this one

What a wonderful bust Andy. Lovely introduction to Maori history. Love his musket but it looks a wee bit homemade. Would this be normal and as a Scout whose side was he on? I can only assume he was fighting against fellow New Zealanders.

Looks nice plenty of potential on this with the moko tattoos etc etc

Awesome work.

Thomo,Don,Helm and Marc,
Thanks for the comments.The rifle is a .577 snider with Maori carved designs on the rifle stock,once the stock is painted in a dark brown umber the pattern will not be so pronounced.
Andy

Lots of lovely detail on this one Andy especially carving on stock & tatts.
You gonna paint him up for Armistice show?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the comments.I hope to have him ready by Armistice Weekend.
