I'll second that. The detail is impressive!

He reminds me very much of this British actor who did a few horror movies back in the seventies. I can't remember his name nor the flicks! Annoying!  :x

Nice colours - very in keeping with the slightly unkempt look of the old boy, with flying hair etc. Grand paint job  8)  8)  8)

Very nice Jolly Bob, particularly effective use of colours. You can't beat a yellow cravat. :)

Thanks guys, I'm pleased you like him. He was a lot of fun to paint. I'm glad the pattern on the jacket works as well, as it's the second time I painted it.

First time round I tried a brown check pattern, and it looked awful. I think the tweed look suits him though.  :)
