Steve H - Good morning that man, and yes the sun has arrived, but there's a cold north east wind here in Kent. Hope you don't have to do too much gardening next week - my back went on the second day and now I can't move. Got a weakness there somewhere.
This is head number five, I think a record for me.
I don't think I will do camo on the para's smock. I've done plenty in the past, but do find in mind-numbingly boring. Instead I'm going for reed green. The modelling of the folds and creases is also very good and it will be a shame to lose it. I'll just do camo on the ammo pouches, which will liven things up a bit.
Yes, all but the Telly Savalas bust had incredibly narrow eyes and were very difficult to do, a feature with that particular sculptor.
Good luck with the bust. The face was looking good to me, but you're on the ground, as it were. I personally don't detail the eyes until the very end in case I have to make changes. May help.
Steve J - I felt the quiffed head looked a bit wooden, and with such a relatively simple colour scheme it really needed some character as a focus. I'm happy with it now, and ready to get on to the next one. It pains me sometimes to cannibalise old figures, but no pain.....
