Thank you very much, Billy.  Was an honour to work on him.  I haven't coloured his medal ribbons or insignia because I don't know the correct colours and prefer to leave them as they are,  rather than misrepresent him.

Kind regards

Quick go at the young man Tom. Complete guess at the badge/medal/stripes etc...

That's really beautiful, Peter!

I love your choice of colors.

It looks like Captain Tom could step right out of the picture!

Very Life-like! I certainly appreciate you taking the time and trouble to make Tom look so good!

You are very talented!

Thanks again.
