Outstanding Peter. Certainly one of your best busts. All your hard work has paid off in spades. Lovely to see.

Morning Peter

Lovely finish and well received too.

The poncho does look intense, along with the helmet cover, they are nuggets of detail to complement the plain body/

Well done and on a roll too.

What next?

Keep warm as it was only 6 C this morning Up't North

Have a good day with the next victim

Regards

Stevie J, Joe and Jason - very many thanks.

Steve - Morning. The camo is not right, but it's the best I could come up with. The box artist and one or two others who've attempted this bust have used a much loser technique to suggest the camo pattern, but as I'm committed to a harder-edged style I was stuck with this approach.

Can't believe it, but the central heating just kicked in - here's hoping for an Indian Summer. Not sure whether to start another Alpine 1/16 next or stick with the busts.

Another front of cabinet winner-you'll have to do some shuffling, I think
