Hi guys! 
This is a really nice old GW mini, sculpted about a decade before I was born  it was a lot of fun to paint, practicing dirty metallics and freehand (those checks took forever...), and applying gloss to appropriate areas for that "gooey" look. The head is not very well-focused unfortunately, I was really happy with his eyes but i couldn't photograph them very well... I tried to create a metallicy-rainbow effect, like a real fly's eyes, and they turned out rather nicely. I'm pretty pleased overall with this piece, but he'll be going on eBay soon so i can pay of my iPod debts Watch this space!
I hope you like him - thanks for looking, all v&c much appreciated as always
Cheers
~~~~Bill
