Like Mat above, I've recently had the pleasure of seeing this great piece in the flesh. Excellent sculpting complimented by excellent painting. IMO better than the actual original painting, but that's just me. Hope you do well with this at Euro Paul. Good luck mate.
John.
As Andrea posted, I had just entered it in the comps, and spotted brian's bustoramas, and was chatting with mick.
John euro is a situation unique in that putting your models on show amongst these top european modellers is a humbling thing.
To get any award is such a bonus mate in such company.
I got a commended for a 32mm little lady called tinkerbelle.
This bust was unplaced, but I so enjoyed painting it.
Well it was nice to meet you Paul after having surprised me in the cafe this morning and introducing yourself,your chassuer was very well painted mate,congratulations on your awards
Likewise mate, good to start the day over a fry up that would choke the average dinosaur.
I was so impressed with the group effect of your french lollypops and the award for both sets of busts.

You can take a deserved rest from napoleonics for a while eh?,
Hang on...... You've bought more incha. I admit I have !
Vive les soldats de france.
A razor sharp wit , purveyor of cakes and now an outstanding painter of busts . truly a renaissance man .
That's one fine bust Paul, must be really pleased with it .

Gordon I loved it, and as someone said today, nice to see a bust mounted on a plank.
Missed you not being there for the banter mate.
Oh ye of little faith. Well done.
