Welcome, and nicely executed..... Are you up for a little criticism.... ?

Thank you Malc i don't mind criticism at all, feel free to shoot

I was thinking that maybe he could do with a little more colour in his face especially around the chin.

 

[Peter H. Daly]

Thanks for the input Malc, the more i look at him.... he does look rather bleak. Will see what i can do.

Saw this on FB from the brand PeeDee, looks very similar except for the helmet and paint job. Rather confusing :

Never heard of the brand before (the only PeeDee i know is Paul Dobson), but it does look very similar.... Unless it's a "bust" bash, body from one, head from another? Either way he does look good as well. Akaryu , i just noticed you are from Belgium as well, where are you based? I'm from De Haan ;-)

 

[Peter H. Daly]

Thank you very much Theodoros!

Thank you very much Ken !

The similarity struck me when seeing that bust on FB, apparently showing a Second Empire Carabineer trumpeter. The person who posted it mentioned Peedee Models as the source. Never heard of that brand before, so I wondered. That said yours is a splendid piece of work. Indeed I am Belgian, living in Limburg not that far from the 1914 Halen battlefield nor from the Schaffen main DZ.
Cheers,
Pierre
