It is a great figure, so peacefull, radiating happiness and making people smile.
You did it great justice! I saw the original one painted by Ben Komets live, and yours does not fall short, not for one bit.

Very nice work David, non military stuff is refreshing and helps exercise the palette!

That is so nice David. The orange is suitably bright, and the flowers and butterfly are surreal!

Does the base with the spiralling steps come with the kit, or is it your own design? Nice composition either way.

Cheers,
Adrian
