Del that is one of the best faces I have ever seen in oils. Bloody gorgeous mate. This will be a real stunner and, certainly one of the very best of this particular piece.

Pedro I must have painted the teeth about 5 or 6 times they were by far the hardest bit so far.

Thanks Brian, harder than I thought it would be to paint a 'dirty' face without making it look as if I'd just made an a**e of the paint job.

Very nice Del. Great natural skin tones, and especially the muted colours of the mouth area. Coming from the armor world, too many figures with open mouths would put drag queens to shame. The expression reminds me of a certain Swedish chap when shown images of vikings with horned-helmets and other Holywood details.
