Thank you guys! Steve, no my friend I'm not into acrylics when it comes to figure painting. I work with enamels and oil paints. It's a slow process and I wish it was faster. I'm working hard to get this one done so I think this will be the last update before the finish line. The helmet isn't fixed yet, I want to check all the nooks and crannies and enhance contrast first. The metal parts need attention too, now these are still simply painted black... 
I hope the last update follows shortly. |

Splendid, Ma Brotha! One suggestion if I may; on the helmet, a light oil wash to bring out a slight bit of definition on the webbing. It's getting lost in the helmet tone, IMHO. fine work as always Guy!!  |

The bust is finished and I will show the final pic series this evening. |
