Just got pics for my Leather Jacket and I couldn't be happier.
Special thanks to Peter (RCreations) for letting me have this kit at a price just north of reasonable. I had been looking for this kit for years and I have no doubt he could have gotten much more on the open market, probably twice as much.
And great job on the paints by Saul, who had the patience of Job as I asked for tweaks after he already had it done to get it exactly like I wanted.

WOW!! I had the Boris artbook years ago that had this painting as the cover art and always thought it was one of the best things he had done. Nice to a great paintup by Saul on it.

Thanks again man. I'm really glad you were kind enough to sell it to me. If anyone knows of another one anywhere I have a buddy who also wants one and would be interested in buying it. I have known him for years and he is a really good guy.

Damn, that is an excellent interpretation of that painting as a sculpture.

Got it in the mail on Saturday and it looks even better in person. Here it is next to the prepaint version of Vallejo's Primeval Princess (I know I'm a god-awful photographer)
The only reason I post them together is I was perfectly happy with my Primeval Princess before but next to Saul's work it looks like it was painted with a shoe

I see they have one up on UK Ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300853197087?ss ... 1423.l2649
They are asking 250 squiggly line for it, I have no idea how much that is in actual money but just thought I would let you know

I keep coming back for another look. So much detail in this and theres a creature thing wearing a collar if you look close.

Thanks man, I meant no offense.
I appreciate the help. Is the squiggly line British pounds or Euros?
