Wonderful version of this classic kit. Great colours and freehand work. All very aesthetically pleasing. Excellent.

Great work Brian. I thought mine was 95% finished with just the backpack insignia to do. It took me nearly as long as the rest of the figure! Alex.

Superb pieces, I shall buy Alexander and the Imperial Guard to add to the painted army! Alex

Yes Brian it's freehand. I was thinking while I was painting him that it was going a bit quick, then I remembered the star and garter! I over-painted it twice before I got it right. Thank god for the optivisor! Alex

I use a Nikon D3000 with 18-55 lens using manual settings of Shutter 1/4 and Aperture F8. Figure is placed in a 50cm soft light tent cube with overhead daylight striplight and two 125w 5500k lights either side placed about 3 feet away. Alex.

Here's my latest finished work, another boxart for CGS Military Figures. This time it's the 1/9th scale Carl Reid sculpted Centre Company Private of the Coldstream Guards at Waterloo 1815. This bust does come with an alternate head/shako option without the cover but seeing as he's at a wet and...

Here's a montage image of the recent box-art I have completed for CGS Military Figures. 120mm scale Vistula Infantry Legion. Painted entirely in Jo Sonja's. An extremely enjoyable piece to paint with a very harmonious colour scheme, hope you like him. Thanks for looking Alex

Vallejo matt varnish is not actually matt anyway. The most effective matt varnish that I've used is Testors Dullcote thinned with artists white spirit and applied in thin layers. This will give you the best possible finish other than using it through an airbrush. Alex

Fantastic piece of work, would be a lot of fun to paint. Alex

Thank you all for the positive comments, very much appreciated :) Alex.

Another excellent piece, very well sculpted by Dae-Hyeong with his distinctive style. Great subject and in my favourite scale for busts at the moment. Oh, and super box-art too. Alex.

Completed this great little 1/16th scale bust from Stormtroopers a number of weeks ago but until now have been unable to post anything due to the free update of Windows 10 frying my graphics cards. After much (way too boring to go into detail) repair work I've fixed my PC (fingers crossed) so...

Glad to see your enthusiasm for the Euro experience coming through Jason, the post Euro buzz has always been a great painting motivator for me. The competition Hall has always been an inspiration to push my work to a higher level, you learn a lot from what's on view and from talking to the...

Another fantastic bust, again purchased at Euro. The sculpting in this scale is the best I've seen, beautiful crisp casting too. Alex

Unbelievably good sculpt by Pedro and equally impressive painting by Jaume. I purchased this at Euro, amazing quality. Alex

My latest finished bust. Stormtroopers 1/16th scale Grenadier of the 9th Foot, 7 Years War, 1750. This one has been painted in a combination of oils (for the flesh and red) and Jo Sonja's acrylics (everything else). Thanks for looking, Alex.

Thanks Ben. I don't really find one medium easier than the other, they're just different techniques. What I do find is that I prefer some colours in oils to those in acrylic and vice versa, red and blue being the main two. I tend to paint a lot of my figures now using multiple mediums to try and...

Here are some pictures of a Murmillo Gladiator bust the I converted and painted a few months ago. The red version is entirely painted in oils and printers inks, the blue is entirely acrylics. Thanks for looking Alex.

Great work Brian, looking forward to seeing it all come together as a finished piece. Alex.

To complete the trio of 1:32 scale WWI pilots recently painted for Aviattic here is an Italian also available from Aviattic Thanks for looking Alex.
