Alexandros and John, thank you for your kind words. It was one fantastic figure to paint, so I want to thank also the sculptor Andrea Jula that he has sculpted such a beautiful piece.

Periklis: All the figure is painted with oils undercoated with synthetic (Humbrol/Revell) colours. For the skin I used as a base mix a mix of 80% of Naples Yellow plus 20% of Mars Orange. Then shades I did a mix of Mars Orange and a Pink Ultramarine (kind a violet-pink colour). I use this mix in few layers. I let it all dry (after it is all shaded) and on the dry surface I apply such a light film of that mix, and it brings to the skin areas more life. For darker shades add Burned Umber. Nothing specialYes and for the highest lights I use pure Naples Yellow.
