Hi All,
I think I'm there at last, the last of my tweeks done.
Fingers crossed it'll come out of a mould ok? so here's the last pictures.
Hope you like it!
Best Regards

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 ;)
 
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.
