Very nice painting Bob and it looks like nicely sculpted figure too.

I must say the Steve Warilow has done a great job with his concentration on WW1 subject matter. 75mm is such a nice scale to work in and he manages to come up with some very interesting pieces. Kreston knows since he has done so much terrific work with Fusilier pieces

I really like the Moisan Nagant rifle and wish somebody would make one in 54mm so I could scratchbuild some figures.

I think with a little persuasion that could be a side project for Gary

Jason, I still have that Austrian Lorenz to do yet. A nagant would be neat though.~Gary

Here are some better pictures of the Fusilier Russian. I finally set up an area in my house to shoot pictures on a permanent basis.

Absolutely great Bob, I love the subtle blending and shading you have done. Tell us more about your area for photographing when you get a chance. Your pic is super

Great job Bob, I really like it. I was always curious as to the quality of that line. I have been wanting to do a WWI figure for a while, I may try them soon.

 

[btavis]

I highly recommend Fusilier. The sculpting, subject matter and casting are exceptional. I have done a number of their figures and have been very impressed.

Bob,
Wow...excellent painting! I really like the contrast you get as well as the technique you use. I am sure this guy will do you proud. Russian WWI stuff is awesome and really is something that stands out in a display. Thanks for posting the mixes you used.
Incredible work...
Good luck at Atlanta!
