For everyone a very good and healthy 2017.

The first one to start 2017 is finished last evening.
As always painted with oils.
Every comment good or bad is welcome.

Very nice reds and greens ... not too gaudy, and looking suitably used.

Cheers,
Andrew

Thanks Barrie.
Yes, on metal I always undercoat with Vallejo and/off JoSonja acrylic.
The metalparts I undercoat them with Humbrol enamels.

Very fine result Marc. A real challenge to get the shading right at this scale particularly on the pantaloons.
Nicely restrained dusting on the shoes and lower leg.
Cheers

Wonderful job Marc. The reds and greens look great - just the right amount of saturation.

Regards,

Marc, the photographs do not give us a good result,,, light is too bright, and it seems that he is standing on top of a snow...the ground is white.
