That’s fantastic work Constantin - the flesh tones, hair, & shading on the tunic & cap are excellent.

Painting impeccable.....base too tall......Maybe a total history nameplate might balance out the overall piece.

Thanks again friends.
You have to criticize yourself . Guys, if anyone will draw this bust - I made a mistake with the color of the emblems on the shoulder straps. In 1944 they were silver. I fixed it so right

I agree with Wayne's comment above. Nonetheless, you accomplished really nice smooth flesh tones and excellent details on the uniform. Beautiful looking piece Konstantin!
