A sweet little lollipop indeed, cracking job.

Great brushwork as well the best praise I can give is to say that it looks airbrushed.

Superbly subtle. The slight differences in the panels, the amount of weathering, the simplicity of the base - all looks so right! As a fellow hairy stick user, I dough my cap to you, sir!

Great work! Makes me want to go get the kit! Is that slate your using for a base? If so, nice use of natural material.

Again, spot on!

She turned out spectacularly Michael.
I love the metal finish... and brush painted to boot.
Great weathering too. Those last few shots look really nice. Looks like outdoor lighting.
Awesome! :th: :th: :th: :th:
