This is a beautifully sculpted and cast figure produced by Pegaso.
Painting this figure gave me many hours of enjoyment and relaxation,after all, is this not what the hobby is all about.
I welcome your advice and critique, for improvement.

Beautiful work Rocco..........again up to your high quality of artistic ability. I looked closely and could see nothing to suggest for improvement. Love your armor and tunic shading. Is your sheild design free hand? If so it is stunning.

Roc,
You used Testor's metallics? Whoa, now I "really" think it came out good I've found Testor's metallics to be rather grainy. Did you have this problem? If so, how did you get around it?

 

[Roc]

Joe and Frank,

thanks,much appreciated.
Yes, I will have him at the MFCA.
I hope to see you there,I really enjoy seeing your work.

Frank,I think you will have a lot of fun painting it.

Roc.

 

[Roc]

Hey pete,
I did'nt have much of a problem with it being grainy.
