Damn, forgot that one :lol: Well, base is too small anyways so we have to do without. Progress is bit slow atm but updates will come in few days.

Max painted. I'm not much of a figure painter, getting skin tone right is nightmare. But once inside car I'll think this is ok.

Grey hair was must 8-) As I stated earlier I'm not going for 100% likeness but certain key elements can still be found (shotgun, leg brace, knee and shoulder pad), most of them are hidden completely or partially when figure is inside the car but head is visible all the way. Next I will paint the Dog.

I see it like this, in the end of the day only opinion that really matters is your own. If you are happy with your work, mission accomplished. People complimenting your work is always nice bonus but not the most important part of this hobby, main purpose is to have fun.

You nailed in regards to peoples opinions on such things. All that matters is the builder is satisfied themselves. With that said i hope ya happy with how your Max figure turned out cos i reckon it looks bloody good! ;)

Thanks mate :) Well, I would say that I'm 90% happy with it, with some practise it woud have been better I think. But I think that once this whole diorama is ready, it's going to be quite nice homage to my favorite movie even with all imperfections.
