Thank you all. He was quite fun to do and the set gets a big thumbs up from me, despite the fact that I'm a metal bug.

Like you I am not a "fan" of plastic figures having had many bad experiences with them over the years...but that is a GREAT job you have done...makes me think they may be worth getting after all.

Thanks all! Fingernails are easy-peasy, it's the eyes that I struggle with; it took me a couple of goes to get him looking okay.

The bigger the heads the easier to paint eyes.

Nice work Stu...
