armour added, plus a wash of green

 So I have the basic head and shoulders the way I want them. I was worried that the sculpey would crack as there is a fairly hefty wire armature inside.

This started out as several castings I made from a "Form-u-lay" mould joined together to portray the facade of a Factory building as part of a military diorama but a friend liked it so much I ended up dedicating it to her for her birthday
