Hello guys,
Thank you very much for your feedback and nice words. I think that Vladimir deserves them.
Ron, me too I would like one day to paint Vladimir's figure in 120mm. Knowing him I am sure it would be an amazing figure with a lot of fine detail. But, it would take a year to sculpt it and two years to paint it
Marc, I will be back from vacation in a couple of weeks and will add this vignette to our website:
www.castleminiatures.com or you can order it directly from Vladimir (
[email protected]). He is in Moscow, and you will receive it much faster than from Canada.
Merci Rodrigo, bientôt, je présenterai d'autres miniatures de Vladimir en 75mm.
Steve, as the main figure has a cape, the armor on the back of the figure was not sculpted. You would need to sculpted or put it back to a wall or a curtain in order to hide its back.
Tom, as I already wrote to you, your miniatures will be posted tomorrow. Don't forget to send me the pictures of the painted model.
Wayne,
Rafael Sabatini in his book The Life of Cesare Borgia wrote:
This is no Chronicle of Saints. Nor yet is it a History of Devils. It is a record of certain very human, strenuous men in a very human, strenuous age; a lustful, flamboyant age; an age red with blood and pale with passion at white-heat; an age of steel and velvet, of vivid colour, dazzling light and impenetrable shadow; an age of swift movement, pitiless violence and high endeavour, of sharp antitheses and amazing contrasts.
The inscription of the base says : You are my only partner. I think that the main character has one and the only partner: his sword. Two soldiers, bandits, mercenaries had an argument over the money (check a nice purse full of coins) and one was luckier that the other.
My favourite American writer, O'Henry, has a novel which describes perfectly this vignette:
