Amazing face Marcel.
An eye is miraculous in particular.
I'm looking forward to completion very much.

Marcel, obviously you used your secret nanobots to paint this face.
Seriously it's right on the upper limit of excellence.
Cheers

The amount of response to your initial post goes to show what a great job you have done mate.

for 54mm this is excellent, cant wait to see the rest of it.

Cheers mate

Steve

Many, many thanks for the overwhelming comments, much appreciated!
The figure is sold as a 54mm but it's size is closer to 60mm. But really wel sculpted and thus a pleasure to paint.

Ed and Maco: the colors I used for this face are the ones described in the tutorial from Jaume Ortiz. Which can be found in the article section.

Einion: Yes, I'm going to add it a bit more beard and will try to smooth the forehead a bit more.

Jim: It's more difficult to paint a bad sculpt well than a good sculpt.

Marc: It would be great to win a gold medal at Euro one day.

Gordy: Don't expect too much, but I will do my utmost best.

Cheers,
Marcel.

I have this gem in my grey army & had to go n check if it was a 54mm or a 200mm

Amazing painting!!!!!!!
