Thanks all, very much indeed, it's been a long process to this result.
I don't think I'll be sculpting on anything other than my own collection, I sculpt on to existing Perry figures and like kit bashing and sculpting to see what I can create, the sculpting being an extension of that.
This thread has demonstrated a line from fairly crude experiments to some with more convincing results (I think), I guess as much as I use it to value critique and encouragement I wanted to show that a bit of sculpting can add an extra level of detail with not necessarily that much effort.
I hope it's inspired a few to take the plunge or to paint some obscure early renaissance types. I love LAF, always good for inspiration and glad to contribute in my own way.
Rambled a bit there, anyway, Thanks again
