Beautifully painted, Brian. I love how you often give your busts or figures atmosphere and a story by adding a backdrop.
Lovely work!

Many thanks nick,the backdrops I enjoy doing just as much as the figure or bust,cheers mate

Wonderful job all the way around. I especially like the patterns you achieved on the clothing.

Many thanks my friend for your kind coments

 

[smudger1960]

As always Brian a superb piece of work.
There are not too many people who can turn two busts into a diorama. Come to think of it you are unique to my knowledge.
Amazing vision Mate.
Cheers,
Keith

Many thanks Keith,I feel honoured when you use the word unique,the backdrops are something I've added into my modelling and it's just as much fun as painting the figure or bust,I used to build AFVs and dioramas in the early 80s and it's something I love to do,thanks for those kind words mate

 

[smudger1960]

Woderful work Brian!!. The wall brings out the two characters at 100%, also the pattern on fabrics are specially remarkable

Many thanks Tartarus,the patterns did give me a few headaches but I was determined to stick with it,
