Dear All,

this is a conversion I have done from the Confederate officer from Art Girona. The head is from the Mousqetaire from Andrea (the one with the gloves if I remember well). I did an article about this conversion in the magazine "Figurines"... do not remember the number by the way...
The yellow colour had been done with aero which gives an excellent result and avoid to put too much paint with the brush. I have noticed that those 'non covering" colors (yellow, white...) cover much more better if applied with airbrush.
Groundwork with pigments...
My best regards
Thierry Faniel

Very nice Thierry - love the yellow which is bright without being garish; a difficult trick to carry off

Excellent work as always. I remember seeing this one in the flesh (in the good old days ) and it's even more beautifull than on the pictures!

Take care my friend and have an happy new year,
