Thanks Mercius, those are kind words. I have come back to the hobby after 16 years with a huge amount more patience. I am - inevitably - limited by own skills, but learning from people is extremely beneficial. I shall take your advice on board.
Good job on this. It is a nice above table top quality. My best advice is to push the highlights and shadows further, creating more contrast and making the mini pop some more. Also some rust and/or other weathering would make the model more convincing as an orc. Great job though, you should be stoked!
