Hi friends!!

At last I can show you my last paint work! A new box art to Stormtroopers!!

I finished it a few weeks ago, but i couldn't share it until this moment. Anyway, here is now.

A great piece sculpted by Carl Reid. Very funny and recommended. Here you've a lot of views, but if you need any more, feel free to ask.

Also, you can read in my site some tips about the painting process. This weekend I'd recived a lot of question about painting, so I hope it helps. Anyway, if you've more doubts after read them, feel free to ask here or in my site.

And finally, this bust if for sale. this is your opportunity to buy this nice bust (the original box art) if you like. So, if you're interested, contact me

A great pleasure to work with Stu and Stormtroopers, thanks for the chance. Soon you'll see a new work for them

Hi Kevin D.

You can read it in my site, where I explain it. Anyway, here you've it: On the work of the red, overall, used as a Cavalry Brown base, illuminating with colors like Napoleonic Red, Vermillion or Cadmium Red Light. For the shadows, I got a dark red color adding Napoleonic Green to the base and then black. The rest of the work was to apply tones with colors like Violet Red, Magenta, Napoleonic Green, Burnt Umber ….
