Hi Markus

Very nice, and certainly an unusual subject. Your work on the folds of the cloak is very good indeed.

What sort of scale is he?

@Phil: Many thanks for for your kind words. This Figure is in the scale 1:15

@Guy: Thank you very much for the "real beauty". I do my best to get it finished as good as I can...
