Paul, congrats on a great finish, should do well and I look forward to your next figure.

Cheers Ken

Hi Paul,

It is a great skill to be able to reproduce a likeness such as this and I imagine harder than working from a blank canvass where there is no point of comparison-very brave to take it on and a great result both with the sculpt and painting...look forward to seeing it at one of the future UK shows,
Keith

This turned out extremely well Paul and should fare well on the market!!!

Wish you ALL the luck in this world and beyond mate!!!!

Ray

Hello Paul,
great skin painting,
which red did you used for the cheeks and the nose?

Many thanks' for your kindness,Ken,Keith and Ray....as they say proof is in the pudding!
Its how many get painted and not end up as part of many a grey army,it will be nice to see other people's tack on him.
