Truly amazing work Rob, a work of art! :bow:: :bow:: :clap: :clap: :th: :th:

There is so much to see, the detail is mind blowing - the pink tinge to the dogs muzzle and ears, the grime under the first course of bricks, the weathering on the chain, the highlights/creasing of the clothes, the tonal quality of the skin.............where do I stop!?!

Genius!!!

i think all that can be said has been, im blown away with the level of detail, and old Bill looks nasty and mean, and Bullseye looks stunning also.... a real bull-terrier i wouldn't want to mess with, i can't wait to show Sharon this one.

Thanks guys, it is appreciated.
Before joining ISM in August, modelling was always a solitary affair - a means of staying sane while having fun at the same time. After lurking on the sidelines for some time i decided that the time was ripe to make a contribution. Knowing that my work would be more widely seen, and that it would receive the gaze of my fellow fans of styrene, resin, white metal and paint has been a real incentive and inspiration to do better.
I am chuffed to bits with how Bill and Bullseye, my first model started and completed as a member, turned out and even more pleased that fellow forum members see something good in it too.
Here's to you and all who sail in the good ship ISM
:cheers2:
