Coat cane and cigar ... excellent

I can't see the face well, but it looks good from what I can see

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.

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 guess I am a little late in finding this one. Nice work Richard I like the way you based him too.

I like the back of the coat.

Started the coat with a black basecote and highlighted it up and then used black\brown ink Wash's\glazes.

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.
