This really is a fantastic piece. I was tempted by the mini already, being a bit of a fin head, but was a bit worried how it would look when painted. You have cleared that up though, great work.
Wow. First one Ive seen and its a belter. I was concerned how the scales would paint up but they look great. You have done the water spit very well too.
sods law, i spotted this on the crunch waffle site the other day and decided to get one as it's a very original mini and i hadn't seen one painted.
next day i click on CMON and what do i see.
absolutely amazing job, very realistic and great shading.
