Young Roman Centurion Bust complete!

[Sambaman]

Jason, Roger Ernesto, Marc, many thanks!

Jason, Roger, well...........................I have painted some boots in the past. We all have things we're ashamed of. HA HA HA! Actually my very first figure was a 120mm Patton figure from Legends and Lore. He had boots if that counts. Actually, the closet holds about 99.9% busts. I have to admit, there are two little chaps in there that actually have feet. I'll have to consider those sometime soon. What can I say, I'm a bust man! Thanks guys,

Beautiful work, Jay. I dig everythin' about it, its sublime mate.

I'm always experimentin' with metallics too, is there a place you know of where I can pick some of these metallic inks up?!

Martin, thanks, I have to admit, my metalics are a bit of a work in progress. I learn more every time I do them.

Paul, thank you as well! I got mine from Michigan Toy Soldier. I think Michael Roberts carries them as well.

Stephen, thanks for the kind words. MFCA, I wish I could, Atlanta possibly. I may have to ship this guy out before then though. As soon as my wife is done with school (about a year and a half from now) I hope to get to many of the shows I haven't had the opportunity to get to. MFCA being one!

Thanks again gents!

Jay - Wow!!! That is one beautiful job. I don't know what else I could say that the others have'nt, but that is one exceptionally painted piece. It is very cleanly painted. I could swear that he was blinking at me. Hope to get caught up with you this year. And thanks for sharing you technique on your metals. I think I can adapt a acrylic version to that method.

Lovely execution.

I was happy with mine, but yet again, someone else's makes me feel inferior, yet again.

Great piece, great metals and crest.

You must be congratulated.
