Thanks - did the whole thing in 6 days and perhaps it shows. Its rougher than I would l have liked. I learned a lesson as you cannot repeatedly bake plain sculpey without losing some fine detail. I will paint this up and see how he looks - perhaps following with a nicer more carefully sculpted version.
I was contacted by McCrae biographer Jack Alexander through GWF and he answered my remaining questions re. Sir George's medal ribbon, eye and hair colour. Very generous of Jack to reach out. He personally designed the Contalmaison cairn memorial including the plaques so his interest means a lot. I will post painting progress here.
