Wow , He really looks like he's been hanging in the sun a long time .Nice !

Thanks Chris for kind comments here.
You are right I just paint as I see & photos help guide me for areas to correct.
I continue to strive for "natural" so pleasing to hear this looks effective to you.

To Marc, Keith, ChrisR, Anto, Gordon, John, Bob, Joe, Tony, Scott, ClSgt, Guy, Carl & Ken.
Thank you to each of you for taking time to comment.
It spurs me on to next project which will now be 3rd Tommy's Bust MG Trooper, NZMR.
May not do SBS shots though as got a lot of work coming up.
If I do will be sure to share here

Hi Andy, yes he is only small, about thumb height.
I don't use photos for gimmick, just to test my own approach. Correcting as I go.
Original images were to dark so have lightened them up to better see colour.
Thanks mate, look forward to doing your little fellow one day too

Ta Kev! Actually removed the medal ribbon, original research suggested this would have not been correct for this type of officer to have served in South Africa.

Happy New Year Neil to you & family.
Trust all well with you.
Yes tried to achieve sun & mixed race look with his face.
Thanks mate!
