Thanks for your comment. I agree with you that the 5 o clock shadow looks a bit dark. I can assure you that in reality it is lighter.

Tony,
Thanks for the picture's. In my reference they looks indeed very white. Therefore i painted them white.
As you and Grant mentioned it, i can only correct it, to make it looks authentic.
Again thanks for it.

Thanks PAUL.
It was a pleasure to paint this great bust.
Casting was perfect, with minimum cleaning.

Steve,
Thanks for your comment. I still have my doubt's about the snow.
Maybe it's overdone.

Hi Marc,
A very nice piece...one that I have been wanting to do.
For my own info...and to save me ther research...did the rankers have leather coats or were they only officer gear? Was assured by an "expert" that only officers had leather but have seen photos of rankers in coats that sure looked like leather.
Thanks,
Kevin

Excellent work Marc.
The feel of a material of the leather is wonderful.
The soldier's expression is also cool.
Great sculpting and excellent painting.

Another excellent finish Marc!
Maybe just a few snow spots would add a little to the scene.

Cheers,
Marcel.
