Is 70mm for Art Girona actually 75mm or a tad smaller.

It is a tiny bit smaller, only heavy scrutiny shows it though, or perhaps if you mix and match parts. In the normal run of things, such as in a display cabinet you won't really see the difference though.
And in my experience as well, they really are top quality.

The paint job isn't that bad.I blame the digital camera for a lot of the problem ,as in the hobby now,close ups are the norm.It's getting to the stage now ,that you can just about see up a busts left nostril.
What i'm trying to say,is a figure/bust,should be judged on it's appearance with the naked eye,although magnification may be used to paint it,but not to judge it.14 inches is about right for viewing distance
I've had the pleasure of seeing Bill Horan's figures ,and they are brilliant,but if you've ever seen them on the front cover of Figurine magazine,blown up to A4 size,you'ld get a surprise,as you can see all the workings of the figures paint job,which doesn't do them any justice.They were not meant to be shown so close up.
There's a trend just now, with some of the top gun painters,to paint very minute detail to perfection,which is brilliant,but can think of a few who paint beautiful stuff with a more artistic and realistic style.They both, in their own right, are deserve to be recognised.

Very well put Brian. Digital photography and blown-up images often do give a cruel and unrealistic impression.

I have General Custer by Latorre 70mm - Art Girona and it´s huge. I think it depends who is the sculptor.

I was going to order this off Art Girona's website and it came up as 84,10 euros for shipping.That's crazy unless something is wrong with their checkout system.I emptied my cart in a hurry.

Crazy the way it came up,
180 euros
-18 for discount
84,10 shipping
sub-total 203,38 excluding tax
42,72 tax

I think I better wait and see if the Red Lancers get it.

Mark, something went wrong, try to contact Art Girona because the price for delivering in Spain is 10.89€ and for the rest of Europe and US It will not be much more expensive.

Cheers,

I apologize for my unhappy comment about the painting of this vignette. I'm a great fan of zapatero and I was disappointed of the box art that I suppose is painted by a top painter. But I'd had thought just a few seconds before send the post...I'm really sorry. I 'd never comment the job of an enthusiat painter (as I am ...) the way I've done.

I would like to congratulate you as you are a rare bird indeed: someone who posts a questionable comment on the internet and actually comes back and offers an apology AND an explanation behind it.
I have to agree with Brian as the photo was not the original and is pixelated. As Fabio said, Zapatero's previous work speaks for itself and this is a wonderful vignette.

I contacted Art Girona and they responded very quickly and my set is on it's way already.Just want to say how impressed I am with AG not only for their products but also the people who run the company.I Highly recommend them.
