    Lately, Bill Sikes was shown here often.
    I think it's the great figure.
    Here is my version, I hope you like it too :unsure:

    The skin, the pants and the coat were painted in oils, the rest was painted in acrylic.

    Super work.

    Such a versatile figure. I've really enjoyed seeing all the different interpretations, and hopefully there's still more to come.

    We've seen some great versions of the figure lately which reflects it's distinctive quality and resultant, understandable popularity.
    I love your version very much, the atmospheric groundwork superbly compliments and accents the figure without being overwhelming.
    The figures themselves are beautifully painted and the choice of colour is excellent...Well done.

    I wholeheartedly agree with the Planeteer's comments
    above. That vest is "killer" mate. And the photographs
    are just beautiful. Wow, The Miami Jayhawk

    I never tire of seeing variations of this figure. This has really bought out the building skills in our members. They have all been exceptionally good and this example keeps the standard right up there.
    Great work Karsten.
    Cheers,

    An absolute beauty Karsten. Great setting with the same attention to quality of painting as you've done on the figure.
    The whole comes together perfectly.
