Great rendition of a great man.

Great start!

This is a terrific little figure. I painted it myself a few years ago, but it's one that you very rarely see. Which is surprising because it's a lovely sculpt and a good likeness of a man who (rightly or wrongly. depending on your viewpoint) has iconic status.

It is good painting. I usually defend controversial subjects such as nazis and terrorists. But never have I seen anybody call them "a great man". And the case of Che Guevara is certainly not of a hero or martyr.

Hi Janne.
I have read your op-ed piece from the Daily Telegraph and now realise that our mate was only in it for the cigars and women.

Well, he has become iconic mostly due to pop culture.
And on paper it looks alright to be fighting for liberty and justice. But the end doesnt always justify the means.
Especially when non combatants are the victims.

Andeven if there is a lot to say about Cuba, Cuba under Batista wasnt better.

Good skin colours and tones. Same with the green shirt, is coming along very nicely.
Is the figure already fastened to the base or do you just show him in his intended setting?
