    Hello world!
    I'va started to work on this model by Andrea "Longing for youth"' i love the face of this model, i think is very expressive.
    For first, i decided to work in the basement. In consist in natural wood roll that recall the miniature theme.
    Using some FIMO i have created the missing part of the original basement Andrea in metal.
    Also i added two wood stick in green stuff, where i fixed aluminium wire, with the bedsheet in milliput.

    I think this take me long time to finish.

    See you soon...

    Bye

    Looks like a good start. I'll be following with interest.
    I have the 120mm El Viejo Dragon version "Old Chap" which does include a bit of scenery.

    That is a great bit of basing for the figure!!
    How is the fit of the figure?

    I think that doing a bit extra for the base really adds life to these tiny sculpts!

    Will watch with interest

    Cheers

    Pretty good!!
    Perhaps a dark matte wash, to to give it that 'ingrained dirt' look that sweeping never quite gets out. It would also help contrast the colour of the cards too, maybe?

    Great job bringing the two elements together!

    Cheers

    Good progress!
    I like how you've done the bottle, I had a flash back to the bottle I did for Andreas 'Old Fiddler' - I dressed mine up with a label that looked like a wine or similar.

    Slow and steady, you'll get there :)

    Cheers

    Base is half-completed. I started to paint head.
    Very expressive face. Compliments to the sculptor. The miniature has sweet eyes. :)

    Nicely done, for a hurried finish - hopefully you can always go back and retouch it, if you wish.

    Cheers
