Great job Michi.  You've really brought these characters to life with your painting.  I really like how you did the blue jeans on the Scot.

Lovely, the faces on all three are just fantastic.  The skin-tone blending is great.
This is my boomstick!

Very, very nice 8)

Are they 28mm... Whatever that might be?

Awesome paintjob  :o

First time I see the eyes-on-glasses trick. Methinks it needs a unspeakably steady hand !

Still amazed by those glasses. Each lens must be about 1mm right? Deserves a double :o :o one for each eye!
