Yup have to agree, a veritable NMM clinic. So jealous of your golds...and overall you are a master of the glare points.
My only issue with the whole thing is the base. It's a good base but not sure it is epic enough for the mini. I think it needed a base the emphasized its height, like it is rising to some paramount position. Something that gives a feeling of rising from the ashes. But I also understand the desire to move on and start something else, so still a 9.5 from me. In the gallery yet?
