Here is my 1st 1/9 scale bust that I completed. It is Bruce Willis from the Movie "Tears of the Sun". The model is by Mitches Military Models and was a joy to build and paint.

There is something about the face that doesn't seems right, not wide enough or too tall, either way you did a great job on Bruce.

It might be the camera angle. Used a Nokia cellphone to take the pictures.

Edited by Robin: The img brackets need one or two blank spaces in front of them (i.e. on the left side). I don't know why since I haven't coded it but I have noticed that image-links don't work properly without those blank spaces.
The link inside the brackets was also not working
In this edited post I have used both the green section and
enclosed it in the brackets you get when clicking the img-button below the edit window. I have also used the larger blue section which I think works without the img-brackets
If you feel like it:
When you have checked this out and don't need it anymore just hit Edit below and remove my additions.

You got past the first two difficulties without assistance so I could go straight for the difficult part

Very nice job on the painting.
According to this, Nokia is quite the bomb. Or was.

The military advisor for this film was paid $100,000. The M68 on Bruce Willis' weapon is mounted backward in the movie poster. Have to watch movie again to see if it's right in the movie.
