Wow, again I have watched from the start of this stunning conversion, total rebuild. Superb painting and time consuming work, the result is a beautiful figure.
I am in awe.

Dare I say it - this rivals Ray Lambs work if not betters it at this scale - one to remember

Thank heavens you have finished Paul....
I have been holding my breath since Aug28th over
the freehand embroidery.

Magnificent is the only suitable comment.

Paul.

Thank you so much for your appreciations. They have been of great support during all these months.

Hopefully I can make it to Sèvres show in December, for those who want to see it for real. It will then enter a private collection.

I am simply awestruck by this effort. IVO PREDA now has competition. I would love if you gave us a SBS on the fringe.. Short bursts on the Dremel...but how? Superb.

Stunning work Paul, I think it has all been said but felt I must comment on the attention to detail and the way you handle light and shade. Looking at the decoration on the Drums each element is highlighted and shaded....I'd just be happy to get the freehand work down!

Marvellous and a very lucky collector.

Paul.
I am still in awe over this piece. It really is an inspiration for me. Could you please explain your 'gold lace' painting technique?
Merci beaucoup,
Jay
