The details are;
Scale 1:5, Height 125mm, Width 100mm, Material Grey Resin, Weight 200g

Hi Keith,
Nice to see this one finally posted looks very good mate. Roger I have the first one done and the likeness is superb. I had to put it away as everytime I looked at it, it was calling for me to get the brushes out and I had too much going on. Anyway I need a large amount of putty to complete mine!

Best of luck with this Keith
cheers
Richie

Thanks for your too kind comments Guys. It is a real boost to get these messages from people who's work I so admire.
Roger, My fingers almost bled the number of times I adjusted my compasses to get my co-ordinates right. Worth it though.
Richie, Looking at your recent stuff you could eat this one for breakfast Mate.....Looking forward to it.
Kevin, All Ican say is sorry I did not add the medals and rank stipes. I will do better next time....just for you.

All the very best,
Keith
