    The sculpted detail on the helmet is fantastic and everything you would expect and more from David it’s all there and really lends itself to shades and dry brushing highlights this is the first part of that process

    Hi Kevin,

    Very nice work indeed. The two new Household Cavalry busts are definitely on my wish list.
