I really like this one. Not only for a very good paintjob, but somehow it grabs you by the heart a little..his battle-weary look, hungry/skinny face and...somehow sad and worried (maybe even scared?) look in his eyes. I gotta say ,in all honesty, I havent encountered many figures or busts that showed so much emotion. Thank you very much for sharing this one!
Cheers,Piotr

That's awesome . The eye color is a little strange but that may be the pic.

Great work!
The helmet looks like a real one !
Master piece !

Well painted version of one of the best busts on the market. I totally agree with Piotr's assessment that the bust portrays a myriad of emotions. As a rule I do not do WWII, but whenever I see this bust, I become more inclined to paint him.

This is a great bust to work on, as mentioned previously, there's lots of emotions to bring out
