    Gentlemen,
    Having started this a few days ago, I am calling this done. It is a super bust by Stormtroopers, the detail is superb.
    I have disappeared upstairs for the last few days to paint this one and I think the wife will now divorce me.
    CS9.jpg The bust has been mounted on an up turned wood egg cup, but my skill at drilling a hole will have to be improved

    Nice one Bob (y)

    I really like the textures on the straps. Your drilling doesn't look too bad to me to be honest but a washer or a bead at the base of the brass tube will hide a multitude of sins. Skill is subjective...sometimes it's about not making mistakes, other times it's about successfully hiding the mistakes ;)

    A very neat bit of painting.
    I think everyone has already made the comments/observations that I might have made, so I'll just second them.

    Cheers,
