I placed my order on Jan 17th so use that as your gauge on when it might show up.

This is good news.

I'm in Illinois, so maybe it will show up today.

I have a base ready to go, and was contemplating just using another figure.


Keep your fingers crossed.

I just received mine. I am ready to catch up now. It is worth to mention that the figure is really nice, clean and crisp cast. Can not wait to paint it.

Fernando,

Quick question on your pictures. Just out of curiosity, what camera/lens do you use?

 

[Fernando Ruiz]

I use a compact camera. It is a Nikon Coolpix S600:

I'll try to give some simple hints about how I take pictures, in case anybody finds it useful. Anyway I have to do it, as one member here already asked me some info about that.

Regards
FeR

You're welcome to join! Due to some family health troubles I will not be able to participate in this thing yet for some days more, but you can use the previously posted material to start catching up.

Hi all!
First of all, I wanted to apologize for so much delay in restarting the course. Apart from the family issue, that now is more or less better, I have had some work to do and 2 miniatures to complete for a show and a boxart.
I will check all course threads during the day, answering where needed and will post the next step later...
Regards and thanks for your patience

Welcome back Fernando!

No worries on the delay. It's given me more time to practice on other miniatures. So I probably need to do some more highlighting and blending.

 

[Fernando Ruiz]

Thanks, mate!
I have thought that maybe you would like to see the advances of one of the guys who is taking the course in "La Fábrica Roja":

Fernando, do you use Vallejo Matt Varnish or any other brand?

 

[Fernando Ruiz]
