Nice painting. I also like that you made the effort to add buttons to the shoulder straps that the sculptor left off.

Thanks, the bust (in 120mm) is from the H&V (Fahrenheit) range.

Thank you, it is a pleasure to work this type of figures; the eyes are very small and at first glance almost is not appreciated the work of painting, not ground singled out too to this small scale. The button attached to the base comes from the Gettysburg Battlefield and gives a good idea of the actual size.

And a nice and "antiquated" foreground.

I reckon the eyes are o.k. Jose ,it's just that with digital photography it can show up too much of the painting process when the pictures are large.I tend to keep them about average size as I want to show my figures as near as they would be if seen in the flesh.

Exact!... it is normal to enlarge both a figure so small, misleading ... look at this another bust of H&V, already in 200mm, the eyes are more elaborate.

And "the Boss", of course!

Thank you very much! All the skin tones are painted with oil painting of the Winsor & Newton brand on an acrylic base.
