Hi there.

That is truly awesome. It looks like something that you'd find in a museum or art gallery.

Exceptionally well done!

What scale is it?

Cheers from Peter

Thanks, Peter! It's a 1/10 resin bust from Young Miniatures. I'd never done a Young bust before, and it was a lot pricier than I was used to, but the quality of the casting was amazing. I painted him in Vallejo acrylics, and finished the face in oils over an acrylic basecoat.
Thanks again,
Rod

Hi!!!

Great great work, but I think that you might have insisted with the lights and the shades. needs a bit of contrast especially in the face

Congratultions for your award!!!!!
