Hey everyone, thanks.

This was a kit but one that was (going out on a limb here) not really popular as this was the first one I had seen.

If his face had been a little fuller below the upper cheek bones the sculpture would have been right on.

I almost did not paint him because of this and not until he was almost finished did I want to continue because the likeness finally came through.

Is this thing 200mm tall? That would be what, almost 8 inches?
