    Hi everyone!

    Just starting new bust from 1879 miniatures that I had on my bench from a while waiting for the right inspiration. Cheers, Ale

    Hi Ale,
    If you open the photo with Microsoft picture manager (or similar) you can then rotate it to the correct orientation and save.
    Lovely work so far, I know why I fell in love with that face.
    cheers

    Great idea for the visor, would never had thought of that myself, I would steal the idea but I wouldn't be able to pull it off like you have.

    Thanks Steve, couldn’t be stealing at all, on the contrary I would be honored to know that someone did find inspiration in my piece! Let me know if you need any advice in case you give it a try!
    Cheers,

    Excellent work, superb face and details, all look very real, especially the different materials, the reflection of the galaxy over the helmet visor is a clever detail, I love it.
