    Jason, Roger Ernesto, Marc, many thanks!

    Jason, Roger, well...........................I have painted some boots in the past. We all have things we're ashamed of. :) HA HA HA! Actually my very first figure was a 120mm Patton figure from Legends and Lore. He had boots if that counts. Actually, the closet holds about 99.9% busts. I have to admit, there are two little chaps in there that actually have feet. I'll have to consider those sometime soon. What can I say, I'm a bust man! Thanks guys,

    Beautiful work, Jay. I dig everythin' about it, its sublime mate.

    I'm always experimentin' with metallics too, is there a place you know of where I can pick some of these metallic inks up?!

    Martin, thanks, I have to admit, my metalics are a bit of a work in progress. I learn more every time I do them.

    Paul, thank you as well! I got mine from Michigan Toy Soldier. I think Michael Roberts carries them as well.

    Stephen, thanks for the kind words. MFCA, I wish I could, Atlanta possibly. I may have to ship this guy out before then though. As soon as my wife is done with school (about a year and a half from now) I hope to get to many of the shows I haven't had the opportunity to get to. MFCA being one!

    Thanks again gents!

    Jay - Wow!!! That is one beautiful job. I don't know what else I could say that the others have'nt, but that is one exceptionally painted piece. It is very cleanly painted. I could swear that he was blinking at me. Hope to get caught up with you this year. And thanks for sharing you technique on your metals. I think I can adapt a acrylic version to that method.

    Lovely execution.

    I was happy with mine, but yet again, someone else's makes me feel inferior, yet again.

    Great piece, great metals and crest.

    You must be congratulated.
