She looks great. Something about the shape of the nose in the first two photos that just looks so perfect. I'm really liking this sculpt.

That Barda sculpt provides an interesting answer to the question of just how
Jack Kirby meant Captain America's chainmail to be interpreted. On Barda's
armor, he drew each individual disk of the layered mail, while on Cap he
drew only a suggestion of the mail. I think this makes it clear enough that
he intended Cap's mail to be worn under his shirt.

So, Cap shouldn´t look like an iron-feathered chicken?  Well, I´d never...

JB .. my biggest problem was actually trying to explain to the sculptor that Barda's hair became part of her armor when she transformed into it.   Some rocket scientist at DC retconned it into a helmet!  I wanted the Kirby look, but not quite as bulky as he used to draw it.  It wasn't until I found an episode of Justice League Unlimited and showed it to him in 3D (of sorts) that it really started to come together.

It was one of the great revelations, especially when it came to drawing her,
when I realized Barda's helmet was actually her hair, transformed.
