Congratulations Dave.
I like the 1:1 model behind the Paton. Perfect skin tone, no weathering and the hair is realistic. :-)

Congratulations David! Wow, first the appointment by the museum and now the papers. A celebrity model maker.
You deserve every bit of it. Good luck to your military career as I'm sure it will be every bit as successful as your modelling.

Awsome! That is: your recognition, joining the military, and realizing that "hands on" experience will help your modelling. Good luck in ALL of your endeavours!!!
Oh, I'm not sure how the Aussie military does the haircut in basic, but you're close! (heheheh) :-)
