Knock me off, Bro! This is so cool, man, I have no words!! Looks like a photograph, it is TO-TAL realism, your painting technics and skills are, well, I have no words. I have seen so much top work over the years, but almost I think, this is overdone (like the works on the Pegaso figure packs, Andrea, Young etc.). But your style is so damn realistic, subtle and cool, I cannot say. My deepest respect here, Guy!

Thanks guys, yesterday I brushed a bit more, this is the current look of Winston.  Head and torso aren't glued together yet, I still have to do a lot before it's ok to me. Best regards ! AG. |

Thanks guys, yesterday I picked this one from the shelf again an now it will stay on my hobby bench until it's done ! He said the words Never never never surrender ! This bust is so good it deserves every second of my hobby time. I've tried to add more light and shadows to small folds and also the withe parts were given more highlights. Getting bored ? I fully understand friends, but now I'm going for a finish !   Best regards ! AG. |

Thanks for the encouraging replies gentlemen ! Currently I'm battling the stripes of Mr. Churchill's suit, and I guarantee, it gives me cold sweat. I hope you like it so far, here and there I still make some corrections.  Best regards ! AG. |

Worth every drop of sweat there AG! Winny won't mind, just keep a towel handy. |

Not seeing nay other way to do that other than freehand, at different angles, over folds and creases for a beautiful chalk stripe suit!!!!!!!  . And here I am... I can't draw a line without a ruler! I think I hate* you now. *The definition of hate in this case is... OMG THAT'S FREAKIN' AWESOME AND I BOW TO YOUR SKILLS AND PATIENCE. |

Thanks friends ! Bill, I hate you too, you shipbuilding wizard ! Who can beat THAT project of yours  I'm very sure many things can be done better but I'm having tons of fun with this magnificent sculpt... Anyways, I still have to fiddle on a couple more sessions before it will be finished. Today I've experimented with the base and this looks good I suppose : diagonally !  Presented this way the curves om the Prime minister's belly follow the edges of the base. More updates soon fellas ! AG. |

They say that stripes can hide 10lbs...changing the angle of the base does the same trick! Winny is looking pretty good AG, down the home-stretch now. And for the record it was Marc who expressed his unique love/hate relationship with the pin-striping.  |

Hi guys, yesterday I had a day off and that was ideal to do more to the head. I tried to add more years to the skin by applying a range of pale skin tones. the ears also were more shadowed and highlighted (these are incredibly wel sculpted so they deserve respect lol). I focused on the hair too. Next to do is adding a bit of gloss to the eyes. O yes, Mr. Churchill liked a drink from time to time, so I went for the nose too.   Best regards ! |
