Hey, looks like a nice figure and an unusual subject too. I'd like to see some larger, more detailed pics if you've got them.

Did you sculpt this one?

That guy's face looks mean! Wouldn't like to try and get past him. From what I can see in the small pic it looks like a very well sculpted and finished piece of work.
