I'm sure the photo will be round the wrong way (perhaps someone can rotate it for me) but I thought I'd post an update pic taken last night.

Hi Tony,

Saw this on FB like Keith says the uniform colouris going to be something special ...what colours are you using ...Jo Sonja ?

That face is so haunting as well as looking exhausted

Thanks for update

Looking great so far, the face looks like a very tired veteran haunted by what he has seen, I look forward to seeing its progression.

Hi guys,

I started painting this figure in December 2014 and its been sitting on my workbench in a state of 80% completion for most of last year and this year.

I'm not sure why I didn't get around to finishing it because its a beautifully sculpted and cast bust and the face is so appealing.

Anyway, 15 months after I started I present to you the completed bust of a French Poliu from Verdun 1916. Sculpted by Phillipe Parison and painted in Josonja acrylics and oils and pigments.

Wow, I remember this one - glad he's been resurrected mate.
Beautifully painted and weathered - I love the character you've brought out in his face.
