Thanks for the comments - gratefully received!

I know it's something of a gamble for Hawk to release this bust but I hope there's room for such a histoically important person such as Galileo (and others?) among the usual slew of military subjects and pirates...

As Jon mention there is a risk with this bust as it is not the usual military / historical / fantasy subject.

But the reason why I liked this bust and therefore released as I feel it has a certain appeal either to the hobbist or less expereinced modeller as it a simple subject to paint. The face has plenty of features to help paint it and there are no intricate uniform details to paint, also there is no right or wrong colours for his clothing.

On the other hand I hope it appeals to the more expereinced painter as they can put in as much, or as little, effort as they want this could include painting a pattern on the tunic or detailing the facial features.

So thanks for your comments.
