That looks great Nap, violin is super, worth all the extra work you did on it.

You can see the emotion on his face while he plays something slow and with feeling for his Motherland.

Well mate

PS Incase anyone is wondering the rank is a Sgt Major wearing field epaulettes and a airforce blue cap

Very nice Kev. I like the way you’ve strung the violin & bow, very realistic, & the blue Pilotka cap & epaulettes set the bust off admirably

Too kind by far young Bob ...but thanks for commenting ...it certainly looks better in reality

Possibly apart from the violin strings the eyes were a challenge , in the end did them fully closed !!!

Thanks for looking in

Excellent looking piece Nap...….I see that the lighting is a bit too much but I got a good imagination so I say well done.

Great finish to this one Nap. Love the detail on the violin and the little splashes of colour really make the uniform pop.

That's better mate, he does look super, as others have said the headgear does brighten him up.

Those violin strings would've drove me crazy. Top stuff mate, definitely worth the effort with the end result.
