Thanks for your feedback. I was trying to achieve a flawless end result with this project; the eyes look fine to me, don't see any issue with them at all.

With regards to the bust I bought the 3D file from Etsy then got it made by a company online.

.............. the eyes look fine to me, don't see any issue with them at all.

If your happy with them, then we will leave it there.

Update on Gunny!
I have repainted the eyes. This is because I was looking in my display cabinet and happened to scrutinise this bust, wasn't satisfied with the eyes (originally painted them too small in hindsight) so duly rectified them today on the spur of the moment! Why I let them pass my original appraisal upon completion I've no idea....

With the redone eyes, and the excellent skin tones, he now looks very lifelike Gav. Well done!

[Jim R]

Excellent. Repainting the eyes was a good call.
