MARK'S 101 AB DIV BUST. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! DONE!

That bandoleer looks like real fabric Guy
Enjoy the food and beer fella, you deserve a break

I can’t see how it could be done better, mate. Maybe just more efficiently, but not better.

I agree with Tommy, it’s hard to see how this could be improved AG, the variation in colour and texture is amazing

You’re right about the perfectionism too, I think it’s my greatest foe.
I think the worst thing about the internet is that you can see so much talent on show just before looking at your own work!

Really good painting, love it

Steve, I have to admit that I'm checking the internet too and then I say to myself this is something that others can achieve so why shouldn't I?
Perfectionism creates limits, it sounds un logic but it's true.
I've been working on my own perfectionism and I ripped it out with the root which was going back many years (childhood).
Now I enjoy my hobby a lot more, I have confidence at what I do and the final results look better, more daring and without limits.

Boots, you really should do a bust.

Thanks chaps!

Agreed…. I watch modelling videos on YouTube and am astounded at some of the level of detail… especially the Japanese channels. 
what really bugs me is everything they do looks bigger than what I have sat on bench in front of me 🧐

Seriously tho Guy, your work is outstanding and inspirational 😁

Thanks good chaps, you're too kind!

I've been painting along today and I think with another two hours session it can be done.
The musette bag paint coats have to dry now and with just a bit more fiddly  diddly micro paint action in places I can call it done. The helmet will be glued on and further finished, not much, a highlight, a shadow...

The greens look really green but it must be the light at that time of the day causing this.

The suspenders received their 'texture' and I'm pretty pleased with their look.
    

Thank you Boots chap!

Blown away.
