Looks great, he certainly has a purposeful visage.

Looks great - will the other one be seated? 

[elanlane13]

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I'm not currently planning a seated version but could be persuaded if there is enough interest.

Just out of interest Robert, the term "box art". Is this a photograph of an actual painted figure, or is it a painting of how the figure could look?

Hi Max,

This is one of the resin castings painted by Edward Sage. He does most of the painting for the box labels for me. The FAA figure is currently being painted by Mike Butler in New Zealand.

Thanks Robert, waaaayyyy better than my figure painting!
