It seems like everybody and their cousin have had a hand in painting a version of this miniature. Well, I'm part of the crowd. :-) This model spent some time in my to-do-box, because I was kind of disenchanted with the quality of the cast. The bust was fun painting, though. I sweated through the patterns of the pirate's and the monkey's vest, and I didn't get it perfect, but I learned a lot and built up experience that can go into my next project, and that's a big part of the fun in painting miniatures for me, too.
So ... stand up me hearties, yoho!
