A lovely job, Nap. All beautifully rendered, even that maniacal grin ! Possibly 'nightmare' rather than friend but as you put friend in inverted commas we may mean the same thing....

Why does he have such a strange face?

This is really good Kev. I love the flesh work and particularly the mouth, teeth and gums - I can almost see the spittle flying out of his mouth..... The belts are fantastic, they look very real and contrast beautifully with the uniform. Great job all round!

Wow, pretty awesome work, Kevin!

It’s a sculpt based on a comic character called “The Beast”..see pic in WIP link

Sounds like Stephen Frys character in Blackadder goes forth, General Melchett somebody or other! Or Larry the Lamb!

Oh good I like a bit of lamb. The eyes are nice, a very strong blue, very striking.
