Hi Milan,
Having helped MAB in this figure (in the leaflet you'll find my name for the historical research and painting instructions), I'm glad to echo Maurizio. Well done painting, he remembers me the work of a French man very talented, who painted the same figure very nicely.
All the best
Marcello

Milan I also own this figure and I have to say that you are doing great so far. I really like your work on the reds... I also paint in oils and my red mix is Medium red Cadmium... and Violet or magenta instead of Brown madder. I can't wait to see more of yours work

First, I will thanks Mr Ipperti, because hi open my eyes and show me the way, how can I paint the gold colours. Thank you very much, Mr. Ipperti .
Finally I don´t use the same procedure but I like the outcome and this is important for me...
...and now photos my first gold.

The flag needs some corrections...

...and palette...I used Umber, Neaples, Yelow, White and Gold pigment

Milan,
Your gold is awesome. I translated Daniel's painting of the gold. Dont know what he is doing with it.
Anyway, great work.

Milan,
How do you paint your flesh?

 

[eissteban]

Uniform, sculpt, paint and release are absolutly incredible.
A part of the premier empire is depicted with talent.

It comes along nicely my friend!!!!! How did you do the marble?

 

[iceman]

I think this is superb!!

 

[Taiko]

Thank you for your comments, my friends.
Rocky:You can find my skin pallete here. I use Humbrol colour for the base.
Periklis: De facto is not marble. "Pipes" are not there. Its natural stone pavement. I use the plastic board, cut into natural stone panels and use airbrush. When I finished the work with airbrush i used glossy varnish.
Because the base is too cold, I build the wood flower stand. It´s made with wood and plastic board...

The white base...

Brown Valleyo undercoat...now come the oil colours...
