OK super enlarging.
It looks like a blob of brown paint on the thumb of his hand holding the cane.
The eyes look slightly wrong.. I just can't make out why. It might be the lighting. ( this is coming from someone who hardly ever attempts to paint eyes co I'm crud* at it)
Apart from those two tiny things it looks great
i like the wax works concept. You could also do this mini in bronze with patina effect.. complete with pigeon droppings to really look like a statue... hey that would be a cool idea... better order one.
Found the eyes on him hard to do and didn't notice the spot on his handy till you said. :icon_evil:

I find eyes hard to do always.... and enlarged photography always points out things the eye can't see
Crikey Bungle you have good eyes mate, I cant see that clearly !!! I think the model looks great and you've got a lot of character in the paintjob. The colours u used fit perfectly with the model :clap2:
I like the skin tones and they suit a Human model well
I like the back of the coat.
I guess I am a little late in finding this one. Nice work Richard I like the way you based him too.

Started the coat with a black basecote and highlighted it up and then used black\brown ink Wash's\glazes.
I entered him in the Black Scorpion Golden Chef painting competition. :icon_w00t:
i saw that mini, I wouldn't mind giving it a go. It be very tempted to rotate his hand though :/
and I like the wax idea, very original. How about a House of Wax-esque game then :P In case your wondering no, Ive never watched it
Fun to paint but has a mould line down his right side of his face you need to sort out.
