    Hi,

    Just ended up this great figure!!! It was a real pleasure working on this one.
    The base is homemade.
    Don't have much to say, just hope you like it and hope the photos are good enough (fortunately
    the colours are exactly like the real ones).

    Olá Pedro!

    Parabéns, a figura está 5 estrelas.
    Particularmente gosto muito da sujidade, vejo que foi bem aplicada parecendo-me muito realista.
    O base esta muito agradável também.

    Abraço

    Hi Pedro!

    Congrats, the figure turned out great.
    I like very much the weathering in uniform, very realistic indeed.
    The ground work is also very nice.

    A hug,
    Pedro.

    Well done Pedro. My only concern is about too much shine on the jacket.

    Thank You all for the kind comments.

    Piotrec, the shine is a problem yes, I'm dealing with it (generally). The Vallejo Prussian blue is a nightmare, fortunately the worse
    part is on the shadow areas...I have to make that disappear.

    Vitalino, muito obrigado pelo comentário, ainda bem que gostou. Quanto ao Modelscala já me passou várias vezes pela cabeça participar,
    mas a disponibilidade não é muita e ainda sou de longe... mas é não está excluído. Abraço.

    Pedro,outstanding work as usual with your style.
    the blue coat looks great, and the effect of the dirt and wear on the apron like others mention looks very real.
    looking forward too see more of your awesome work.
    take care

    Thank You Zeno, Mark, John, SG, Marquis and Colin. Glad you like it.

    Colin, right now I have 2 figures on my bench, the Officer of the Guide and the Minuteman.
    After these, I have the cape of the Romeo's Spanish Noble to paint which is a nightmare and
    a 54mm figure of Louis Villeret of Pegaso... I think that the next purchase it will be the Alexandros
    Ney.

    Best Regards
    Pedro
