Like the colours your using on his fellow , coming out well ..boots are very effective indeed ...will you weather them when in place on bas ie : dust ?

Always good to see your art

Why not enter something into FOTM as well as voting in previous months entries

Look forward to more on "El Gringo" from you

Happy benchtime

thank you
I don't understand what you mean with this sentence

I put in Figure of the Month / Vignettes & Diorama each finished figurine but I do not understand and the google translation does not allow me to understand FOTM?

j'ai choisis un terrain presque désertique

Hi Akexandre

Great updates on both figure and base work

Do like the way you've painted the hat brings hi to life more

FOTM is the abbreviation for Figure of the Month as Carl pointed out

Happy benchtime

Doesn't 'gringo' mean foreigner (sometimes derogatory) whereas I assume this bloke seems to be a local?
