Hi Ray

Great to see your version of a really good idea for a set piece

Really like the painting of the whites especially

Why not enter a piece into the class of your choice in our May's FOTM comp and also vote in Aprils classes as well

....And enter in Vignettes & Diorama #3 which will be running till 31/12/21 with voting till 31/01/22

Msg me if needed

Always good to see the artwork

Thanks for sharing

Look forward to the next

Happy benchtime

Many thanks Nap, the whites was a bit of a challenge trying to vary the tones. I mainly used creams/ ivory and only used white for the highlights

Very impressive paintwork.....This has to be one of the most unique sculpts I have seen. It may leave its mark as a classic.

Very nice finish Ray. It’s a cracking figure/concept from Alexandros and can’t wait to see what their next offering is in this series.
