Fantastic job! This looks amazing! Did you use acrylics or oils for the reds?

Hi Ron - Great paint job on this one. I especially like the red on the cloak! Well done to you mate

Brilliant Ronnie, love thered in the cloak and your (his) plume is superb. Made a great job of this one. Is this one of your Euro busts?

Sorry I couldnt get to see it today

Stunning paintwork Ron.
One remark: his right eye has a larger Iris then the left.
(I know it is a difficult task to get them equale, but on this scale it looks strange when they are not)
Sorry for neatpicking

You are right Marc it does need a little adjustment,entered it in the IPMS show
in Glasgow alongside Dave Mitchell's stuff , he also pointed that fault out so will correct it tomorrow but need to get a new fine detail brush.

They don't get much nicer a bust than this to paint,
almost right out the box,wish Matt would do some Napoleonics
perhaps a nice scout lancer or something
