Excellent painting! I like this one a lot. I like the blue coat and the weathering effects.

 

[carl reid]

Great painting buddy!

Outstanding, I really like this, as I do many of the great pieces I have seen.
The sculpt looked great when I first saw it and now the beautiful painting really finishes it off.
I will grab one of these
All the best

The quality of releases and boxart painting for this years Euro has gone through the roof. Another great piece. Carl is so consistently good for someone so prolific and again the painting is top level. Eagle is amazing.

Super work.

Alex.

 

[Aveleira]

It's great indeed!! As usual in your painting.
The one toned uniform contrast a lot with the face and the eagle which makes a nice display.
Excellent!!!

[smudger1960]

This is the bust I have been waiting for since I first saw it posted by Carl,I can't wait to get my hands in this,roll on Saturday morning

Superb painting as well to bring it to life,

 

[poch mahone]

I would love to see this done as a full figure

 

[clrsgt]

I second the motion. This one has to go full figure. .

 

[smudger1960]

Now that would be something,a full figure,great idea

 

[waterloo1815]

Has my vote for a full figure!!! Come on Stu twist Carl's arm a little but, don't touch those sculpting hands!! Dave

Old Abe.......From the Amercan Civil War....
A great looking piece with a unique story.....Never thought I'd say this;..but this is a must have for me.
Mr.Reid...You've tripped my trigger on this one.....very nice job......Best Regards.......Wayne
Also the painting is excellent........

 

[Don Johnson]

I had forgotten about this one! Wonderful job by both sculptor and painter. Ernest, you've set the bar quite high.

 

[Barry King]

Must agree with the other comments of making this a full figure. I cannot understand why a nice figure like this, with great animation, is almost "cheapened" dare I say it by making it only a bust.

It's a great bust, don't get me wrong, but if it was a full figure, then it would have been superb.
