lol! Thanks Gents - We're 'getting down to groove town' to some medieval music at the moment :lashed:

First stab at softening the edges of the demarcation line - I might go back over it with some of the lighter grey.

:hmm: It actually looks a bit better in the flesh than in the photo...

Can't beat the Crüe when it comes to modeling. You're a man after my own heart Stuart. :wub:

Not bad at all Stuart. From normal viewing distance, I imagine that is pretty convincing.

Thanks Carlos - Yes it does indeed look better when not blown up in a photo. It's not 100%, but okay for a first try. I could also do with a better stippling brush.

Likewise... great music for doing housework chores, working out, or while on the road, but not so much for tasks requiring fine motor skills, finesse, and focused concentration.
