The skin tones look amazing, Tony. That stippling technique works really well.
Great work mate

We just had a long weekend, so I've had time to put a bit more work into the Monash bust.
Started on the uniform on Friday night and this is as far as I managed to get.
The face is more or less finished now.

That is starting to look eerily realistic Tony, particularly the last photo.

Hi guys,
Believe it or not, I'm still base coating the uniform and parts of the service cap.
I've made some progress with the service ribbons, the rank badges and the crest on the service cap, but there's still a long way to go.
Hope you like it.

Andrew, Marc, Nap, Ken, Keith and Gordon - thank you for your very kind comments.
As most of you know, I paint in a style called oils over acrylics, which means I paint a series of oil washes over the painted acrylic paint which serves to add depth to the colours.
I'm still working on the acrylics at this stage, and the tunic is literally just a base coat and a first shadow so far. I hope to do a highlight or two on the tunic in the next couple of days and start to see the uniform details "pop" a bit more.
Keith, you're absolutely correct about the fact that there are no hiding places in this scale. Even the tinniest flaws are visible with the naked eye, and they look terrible when you zoom in with the camera for a close up.
The challenge for me is to ensure that I get the balance right and ensure that it looks realistic from whatever distance its being viewed.
Glad you like it so far gents.

Hi guys,
My apologies for the delay in providing an update. I've been travelling on business and haven't had much time to get in the hobby room.
The acrylics are almost complete now. A few minor details to the service ribbons are required and then I can get started on the oil paint washes.
