Hi Fabrizio,

Excellent painting. White is perhaps the hardest colour to shadow and highlight and you've handled it superbly. Oh yes, and the palm tree is lovely.

Excellent !
you make me wonder if I shouldn't put more dust on the boots of the figures I'm currently painting

Fabrizio,
Great looking figure and basework!
Especially considering the light colors of the uniform.

Regards,
Marcel.
