What to say, John?

This one is well up to your usual high standard. I especially like the lettering on the backpack.

Does this producer have a homepage and a retailer in Europe? Theres lot of character in this piece.

Cheers

Very very nice John. Sad to see the bust is not wearing a Hardee hat, the "trademark" of the Iron Brigade. the only other comment is that the trim on the color is too wide and is more like tape than a cord trim.

PS, I like the regimental designation on the knapsack also.~Gary

Hi John,

I am from the UK, Manchester. I just had to make a comment on your painting skills. Simply FANTASTIC brilliant painting job. Can I ask what paints you use? What scale is the bust and where can I get it from? Would love to see more of your work.


***Sorry I just noticed in the text that you use acrylics*** I was so taken by your paint job - I didn't read the text.

Kindest regards - have a nice day.

Hi John,
David told me to take a look at his latest bust and I can honestly say that you have done an excellent job painting it - well done
I think the standard that David is producing is very good and I wouldnt mind doing this one myself.
I assume you will be painting the figures he's working on when he has finished them ?
