Thanks. I appreciate it. My average figure that I paint is approximately 30mm in height. About 2 inches. Tanks and vehicles are usually on the same scale. Making them about 5 inches tall and about six long usually.
That derby car is utterly adorable. Great job with that. It makes me think of the 'Wolf' character used in Loony Tunes from the 30s (the one always wolf whistling at the pretty ladies and wearing a zoot suit).
And shading and highlighting can make anything look better. Some Games Workshop and wargaming miniatures are very caricatured versions of reality. A lot of painters go with a *much* cartoonier version, but I prefer a grittier more realistic style (hence the guys in the heavy overcoats that look mudstained and dirty).
