Thanks again guys.

Ron, your point about this bust relates I think to the very early castings that Andrea produced (back in 2010 I think). For some reason the Quality Control was very poor and the early editions of this bust had terrible mould seams and a lack of clean details on the steel rings of the chain mail. The early feedback from many Planeteers who bought the figure was extremely negative, but I understand Andrea eventually cast some better versions and replaced the earlier batch at their expense for those customers who returned theirs to the manufacturer.

I was not concerned at all when I bought this one, as the initial problems had been sorted out long ago. Since then, this bust has become a classic, and I just couldn't resist. Looks pretty good on your burr plinth too mate!!

Hi Tony,

I love this bust and you did justice to the sculpt! Great painting! The face looks very well done,
and the eyes are very nice

Regards
Pedro

It wasn't your age he was concerned about Ron. It was because you look like Bob Katter mate, he's always looking for a shit fight everywhere he goes.

Tony,
Great version of this veteran. I like your colours.
Cheers
John
