Tell me what do You think about his face? it's an important note for me..

the face looks good, but it could use some more defenition in the form of shading and more highlights. But judging from the pics I think the sculpt lacks some detail, so that might be difficult to do.
The glasses aren't really working for me, but I don't really know a way to paint them other than painting them like you paint gems (which might be the wrong way)

Looks like this is going to be a nice mini

well the frugo base is quite innovative ; D

jokin', but the brown hat is something like "I must have some more highlights!"

agreed to TMZ:
add a bit more shadings on the face

Just a question about the dusting of white sprey paint over the origional undercoat... Is this supposed to give the upper parts of the mini more of a highlighted effect? e.g. A lighter effect on the top of the head, gun and arms...etc?

I've heard people talk about it yet I have never tried it before because I'm not too sure what its supposed to achieve

@ Greenmonkeydishwater: It's also something new for me, but the thing You say - about highlihgting effect - could work. But the efects I will see during painting the robe.. Anyway - effects will be posted..

@ToMaZ - Thanks for solid comment! You're right, today I will give the face much more contrast..

Really love that you changed the kid into a Gobbo!:D

Okay, so after one week I have found some time to paint my mini!
I have shaded a bit the face, made final light-reflection on glasses, and - as You see - painted the rifle too.
Here it is:

What do You think about metallic parts?

Cheers

the face does look better now The glasses are nice too.

The metallics need more shading IMO. Especially the gold parts. They could benefit from more highlighting too.
The woodgrain is a nice touch but could use some darker lines in between too and some more variation in lines (not so straight.

some examples:
