Sculpted by Antonio Zapatero (4 figures - 70mm)

Art Girona White Metal Figures - Art Girona White Metal Figures

What a pity....one of the worst painting I've ever seen on this site!!!

Great scenery! Very realistic! Thank you for the news

I really do like this one, but as said, I've seen better painted stuff. But that is not why it's on here.

Lovely vignette. Cruel comment concerning the painting. It's not in the critique section.....At the end of the day someone has put a lot of work into this, please be considerate

That's a beautifull set of figures. Who did the painting of the boxart??
Nevertheless: the price is also top: € 180,-

Excellent news by Art Girona.

Saludos,

Very nice indeed and will be picking this up straight away
Shame about the painting comment !

The 28mm from Oniria sculpted by Antonio are pretty amazing I can imagine these 70mm with all the details and greatness of this scale.
Really cool!

Cheers,
Pedro.

amazing stuff, thanks for sharing Eduardo

Nice dynamics to these poses!

Paul

when i am reading comments about poor painting , such as above
I understand why some newbies as myself
Don't post pictures of projects very sad to read such comments

Remember, for some of us this is an hobby. Dont destroy the joy we might
Have painting our figures!!!

Roy, nobody have to be unconfortable to posting in this forum because the comment above, imo is just a misplaced jugdment without fundament or why...which reflects only the opinion of a person nothing more.

Cheers,
Pedro.

I thought the first comment was made as a joke ...........and still do.
It's a smashing little vignette and a fascinating period of history I'm only just getting into.
Jon

Painting aside, this is awesome, and I'll be picking one up as well

Phil

Very impressive vignette. Very well done!!!
Nice subject, movement and "drama". Also good to see again 70mm figures.
And... Lovely painting!!
Cheers,

The paint job isn't that bad.I blame the digital camera for a lot of the problem ,as in the hobby now,close ups are the norm.It's getting to the stage now ,that you can just about see up a busts left nostril.
What i'm trying to say,is a figure/bust,should be judged on it's appearance with the naked eye,although magnification may be used to paint it,but not to judge it.14 inches is about right for viewing distance
I've had the pleasure of seeing Bill Horan's figures ,and they are brilliant,but if you've ever seen them on the front cover of Figurine magazine,blown up to A4 size,you'ld get a surprise,as you can see all the workings of the figures paint job,which doesn't do them any justice.They were not meant to be shown so close up.
There's a trend just now, with some of the top gun painters,to paint very minute detail to perfection,which is brilliant,but can think of a few who paint beautiful stuff with a more artistic and realistic style.They both, in their own right, are deserve to be recognised.

That is a great little vignette. Oh, and the paint job is just fine.
