Hi Ivo,

Besides your mastery over the sculpting and animation, your brushwork on details is just amazing. I continue to await the eventual publication of a book on your miniatures!

Rgds Victor

Echo that.

I'm back... some pictures from a bigger project

the figure represent.... a chasseur holding a flag captured

It's a conversion made using Metal Modeles parts and the new Figurinitaly hands in 1/30 scale. Also the head comes from the figurinitaly accessories

Superb detail work, as always, Ivo.
Enjoy the MFCA show, wishing you every success.
The Figurinitaly hands are great, already used a couple

This is one of your all-time best works in my opinion. It reminds me of Edouard Detaille's wonderful painting: 'Remise au Senat des Trophees'. Are the rivets on the flag seperate pieces or just painted on? They are all magnificent.

hello... I'm back after the MFCA trip... some difficult to restart and for this reason I decided to do something our of my comfort zone...

I rarely worked on the late 19 century ... and never on the scottish troops. For this reason I started a figure of sgt Stewart at Lunknow

out of my comfort zone one of the problems was the documentation... used to have all the uniform details I had some trouble to define the details.

anyway... here the start using a Figurinitaly head

arms position not decided yet

 

[ivopreda]

the figure progress quickly

the new figurinitaly hands helped to choose a dynamic position

 

[debrito]

Great work on the <<ride of glory>> love that...

I like you beter whe you are on your confort zone... at least is not British Napoleonic era...

I like your suggestion, don't worry

you're right is a captain and not a sergeant

what do you intend with headed sporran? i searched many documents and none of them is completely exhaustive

 

[ivopreda]

George...is this the sporran?
