Can I get my badge??!! :-) Ciao a tutti, I've finished the figure, I know I've been naughty and haven't posted more pics but I couldn't resist and I finished it in one long evening/night of painting. Please let me know what you think and find many more pics on my blog. Ciao Giovanni

Thanks so much Ian! Grzie Terry| Thanks Chuck! I may have to ask you something, stay tuned! Ciao Giovanni

Thanks Andy! Thanks so much Luiz! Ciao Giovanni

Ciao, grazie mille!! Thanks so much! Hi Ron, I know, I've been a stranger, but work, holidays and travelling have driven me away from modelling! As for the lenses, have a look at this cool article, will teach a lot: www.coolminiornot.com/article/aid/41 On top of the painting, ass some...

Dear all, After a long time, I'm back to modelling, and please find here progress of my Folgore figure. The top half is almost done, I need to paint the black leather straps on the "samurai" the green bullet cases holder. Also I need to paint the rifle, knife and all the metallic part on the...

Hi guys, Thanks so much! I'm looking at the pics on this other monitor and it looks so red!!!! Is it the same on your screen?? Ciao Giovanni

Great job Tony, I would paint very fine black line around the edges, i.e. where the boots meet the legs, were the arms meet the shirts etc, just to differentiate the parts better. Very well done sir!

Ciao a tutti, I've managed to paint the face and arms of my parà, I hope you like it. Oil is still fresh, so a little but to shiny. Ciao Giovanni

Hi Ron, I will ad the mine later, is too fragile and will be no good to have it attached while painting. Ciao Giovanni

Well, I'm impressed by the progress!!! As for the Dak colours, if you want to use acrylics go with VAllejo or Andrea (these are the one I use). Slowly buy the colours you need but I suggest you to buy a colour wheel more than 100's of bottles, you'll be amazed on how many shgades you can make...

I'm finishing another project at the moment, but I had the time to build and undercoat the figure. Lately I use black, this is because, helps with the parts where the parts where I can't reach with my brush. Soon I'll start with the face. Ciao Giovanni

I'll follow closely this one my dear friend!

I should say this is impressive!! I would ass a little more higlihghts, but has to be of your taste one trick that could help is to apply a tiny amoint of blue or green (or whatever colour you like) in the middle of the pupils. It will make a lot of difference. Ciao Giovanni

Hi Tony, I agree on the contrast, if you don't like it, don't go there, but at least make sure you can differentiate the various volumes and parts of the figure. Keep in mind that forehead, nose, cheeks and chin are the more exposed areas to the light. Anyway, I'm impressed, I don't know how...

Wow, you know how to paint, the tones and the blending are great! What I will do is to add a litle bit of contrast, mostly highlight. I've made a sketch with the areas where I would work on, hope is clear. One thing I can't see are the pupils.....

Hi Tony, I would say this is more than enough! I've made a few tweaks to your work, and added the areas where you should add a lighter colour: The upper eyelid the top edge of the lower eyelid top and tip of the nose top of the chin upper part of the cheek bones and above the mouth (not sure...

Hi Tony, Picture is perfect! I think that is a great starting figures. I'll follow this very closely and anything you neex, let me know! Ciao Giovanni

Hi Tony, He surface was rough, because I may have used a bad primer, but moreover because when you zoom so much a 1/35 you can see every single dust particles. As for the shadows, these are what in the tank builder field is called preshadows, and is done in acrylics. You use preshadows mostly...

I know where you can find them in UK at a reasonable price if you need, or I can buy and send it to you. But I think you assume you said you just need to look in the watercolour section of your art store.. Anyway let me know if I can help. Ciao Giovanni

Just pack the Sturmtiger and I'll send a currier to pick it up!!!!! :drinks The series & is THE watercolour brush (even though I use them with Oils and enamels as well), so called because Queen Victoria preferred size was number 7 and these are brushes fit for a queen! What makes series 7...
