Hi Mortimer .

Great job. I took a look at you gallery, after watching your new project ("el desafio" at S.T. forum. Absolutelly amazing. I've seen some sculptures of you in magazines. Ya me imaginaba que eras Alfonso Gozalo cuando vi tu galeria en el S.T.

All your sculptures, ramses, the camaradas, etc have a great, great level.

Do you usually works for Andrea, don't you?

Please Mortimer , post a link here to your gallery.

Guys, check his gallery when he post it. Simply delicious.

REGARDS, SALUDOS

Hi Mortimer,
Great looking sculpt. I can't remember seeing a better looking Napoleon.
Can you give us an idea of the scale?
I'm really looking forward to seeing more of this bust.

Muy Bonito!

This is great sculpture from Alfonso. It is done in the "classic" style of traditional sculpture. It also conforms to an admonition given to me by a sculpture teacher a few years ago, which I have never really gotten the knack of: "Don't sculpt valleys (negative or concave shapes), but only the positive or bulging shapes."

The wisdom of that advice is portrayed here for all to see!

Great work Alfonso! Very humbling.....

Cheers!!

P.S.

Looking at Alfonso's sculpture, I think I finally get that sage advice now!!

Hola Alfonso "Mortimer"
Normalmente no tengo el costumbre de expresar mi opinion sobre la calidad de una escultura, o de una pintura, pero frente a mi Emperador no puedo callarme. Buena cara, muy linda, muy precisa, y...muy seria. Sera el dia siguiente Waterloo? Muy bien Alfonso, la cabeza esta preciosa...ma de que tamano hablamos?
Hasta luego
M

Thank you for your encorageous replies. Answering to Alfredinn, I tell you It was 3 years ago I´m working for Andrea miniatures.

This is my gallery, maybe you can recognice some Andrea miniatures there.

Sorry, I forgot to talk about the scale. It was 1/6. 4,5 cm to be precise.
