Very interesting indeed. The white wash was a bold choice, but I think it worked out well. Makes him look . . . a little strange and disturbing, which is dead on I think, and quite remarkably clear. It's not quite like he's glowing, but there's definitely something a bit off about him. I like it. And the brightly painted Commissar is a grand idea. I'd been a bit weary of both Commissars and bright 2nd Ed forward paintjobs. But by putting the two together you've made an eye-catching character.
