Outstanding work Steve, both the base and the bust are well worthy of a display cabinet.

Final addition to this was this beautiful little sculpt of a Mjolnir ( Thor's hammer a very common piece of jewellery amongst the Norse people) pendant done by Steve Readdie of https://sites.google.com/site/reedeesminiatures/ the pics don't do it justice but here's a picture of one with pics of the finished result which sets the figure off a treat. I did move the braids after the pics to keep them in line with the hammers movement

[DEL]

Very nice addition Steve. Sometimes doing this is a bit of a mistake but this works really well and enhances the 'movement'
Cheers

It was a gamble yes Del but I agree it has worked and it's something that he would have most likely worn, thanks
