PUGNAMUS VICTUM! - before and after

PUGNAMUS VICTUM... that means "We fight for victory!" or kind of. I never had latin and i hope this is at least right. This 1:9 bust by young was painted a while ago for my friend Peter as a gift. As i saw it after several months i've decided to spent some more hours on it. It came to the end that around 15~20 hours more have been spent for the rework in detail and light. If you are intresed in the bust before i have done this rework check this photo: http://www.coolminiornot.com/235274 It really was a hard task for me and sometimes you have to fight your own to gain Victory. So i did and this is really a gift from the heart now, to Peter a good friend who really fought his wars and seems to be free now. I really appreciate your friendship my dear :) Hope you like this reworked bust. Sorry for showing reworked models, but hey i did put at least the same amount of time in it additional to the first go at it. There will be a big report on Massive Voodoo on what i did and why i did it and what i thought and what happened and stuff. Don't you pass this one as i guess it will be something intresting - I really learned a lot during this rework while pimping up this Gladiator. Hope you like him! Keep on happy painting! Best Regards Roman

Wonderful bust (ed)! gladiator. I am amazed. BTW, I think a better Latin translation would be "PUGNAMUS PRO VICTORIA"
