Hi there Tarracus ,

Thank you for the comment working on the facings and collar now .....

Starting to come together ...it's a nice bust to have on the bench ...box art is helping!

I like the brass but thought I would go for the black lacquered finish as both were seen worn

Thanks for looking in

Not sure about superb Bob but many thanks as I am really enjoying this paint ......

......for me this model gives me what I look for:

Good sculpting
Good casting
Interesting subject matter

all = bench enjoyment which is what this hobby is all about

Would definately recommend any from Ellies

Thanks for looking in
