I got lost amongst all those pipes

Nice!
Hope to see the bust soon.
Cheers,
Zeno

Me too!
BTW, what pipe did you said, you painted?...

Not the one I was smoking . I'm going to take it to Hamilton... Five more sleeps!

Are you going to take the bust as well ?

Steve

Looks great.
The wood effect of the pistol looks pretty god damn good in the photos to me.
Gells

Comes pretty good along, Colin!

Cheers

Perhaps

Thanx Martin and Gells

Another piece for Hamilton! Looking forward to seeing him up close.

Colin

Oh yeah Colin, we'll be there with bells on

Great painting on the pistol, dagger, pipe and belt Colin.
Your wood effects are superb.
I like the way this is taking shape Mate.
Cheers,
Keith

Bagpipes (noun) - I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made object never equalled the purity of sound achieved by the pig. -Alfred Hitchcock

damn mate, this figure looks great by the minute ,very nice details and i am sure that pistol with the woodgrain gave you a little bit of headache,looks awesome.
I also like the red tunic,very nice color and contrast between lights and shadows.
Best regards

Thanx Keith,Carl and Daniel... It took almost as long to paint the pistol as it did to paint the face.

No pipe music, had on my grandfather's old records of cossack singers. Fittingly, in one song, it told of a cossack who traded his wife for a new pipe and a bag of tobacco because she was a nag.... Ahh the good old days

Brilliant!!!
