I have just logged on and seen the sad news. Thoughts go to his wife Angelina and their children. RIP Danillo.

Dear Mike, you have done a grand job on these. I am particularly impressed that you managed to clean all those plastic parts prior to their assembly. I helped a friend assemble some Austrians when they first came out and never again! I have always liked the cornflower blue of the Bavarian...

Dear Colin, this is really beautiful work of one of my favourite Napoleonic regiments. You have captured the "attitude" of the officer and the excellent use of colour and shading. Polish Crimson in my experience is a very difficult colour to manipulate. You have done it so well. The facial skin...

God alone knows! I did a special tidy for the photo's!

Hi all, here is my work room which is now pretty well finished. The figure collection is in another area of the house. Since moving to this property I have had the luxury of a complete room to myself. Prior to that everything had to be put away after each session. It's a wonder I ever completed...

Dear Bluebottle, I have had a similar experience to you with super strong undercoated figures. My most recent is the Chotia Sahib Skinners horse officer. Honestly, it really looked as if he had been painted with household paints!. I agree with both Simon and The Baron. A...

Dear Spidy, what a wonderful figure. It's a great shame it won't be commercially available as I would buy it in a heartbeat! Cheers, Paul

Dear Simon, an excellent start of what is going to be a large and dramatic project. I really like cuirassiers so I am following with interest. I am constantly amazed at your output! Kind regards, Paul

This is a lovely figure and will be a joy to paint. It makes a refreshing change to have a peaceful, non military subject for a change! Cheers, Paul

Dear Bennet, Welcome to the forum. In answer to you information request, I use a lot of oils (but not exclusively). I have not used the Abteilung oils so I really cannot comment on them. I know however that they are a good respected make in the world of AFV Painting and weathering. As others...

Hi everybody, this is my first entry to a figure competition! A Praetorian V Bench here https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/pegaso-miniatures-200mm-praetorian-guard-figure.653144/ He is painted in a mixture of oil, acrylics and ink

Dear Nap, thank you for fixing my thumbnail error. I tried to do it myself only achieving a duplication of the original thumbnails! I was going to ask for help over this, so thank you again. My next project is the recently released WWII WAAF figure. It's early days so no pictures yet. Cheers, Paul

Thank you Melanie. His base is now dry and he is in the cabinet! I have just started a WWII WAAF figure and will post more when I get time. Cheers, Paul

Thank you Nigel and Nap for your kind words. Cheers, Paul

Here is my latest finished figure. It is the 200mm scale praetorian Officer by Pegaso Miniatures. It is made from resin and was easy to assemble with minimal preparation work required. I believe that this figure has now been deleted from their production line which is a great shame. He is...

Dear Simon, thank you for your kind comments. He has been taunting me to finish him for a number of weeks. Now the greenhouse assembly is over I can pay more attention to my painting and following this site! Kind regards, Paul

Good afternoon everybody, Here (at Last) is the completed Praetorian figure. As the foliage on the base is not yet dry, he is still attached to the carvers vice until tomorrow. Any comments are welcome. Cheers, Paul

Dear Phil, I am watching this series with great interest. Thank you for the very clear steps in initially prepping the figure. A stage sometimes rushed through but you always end up paying the ferryman in the end! I look forward to future instalments. Cheers, Paul

Dear Kim, thank you for the kind words over the figure. Progress on him has recently been very slow as I have been building a large greenhouse and I also play classical guitar which is very time demanding! However, the big glass monster is now built and full of tomato's, so this coming week I...

Thank you Victor, I will check that one out later today. Kind regards, Paul
