    54mm Metal Modeles figure.
    As usual painted with acrylics.
    Plaster cobblestones are from Add On Part kit
    What do you think, so far?:)

    Roberto
    P.s.
    I'm sorry, but... These pictures are too big?

    That's about the smoothest acrylic paint job I've ever seen.

    You can see that a work will be great from the very beginning. I'm following this project closely.

    Excellent face painting. How about some tips for those of us just starting with acrylics? How do you achieve such smooth blending?

    This is a stunning rendition of a beatiful figure - perhaps MM's best.

    I look forward to seeing your progress....

    Many many thanks to all guys!:D
    Your comments are very appreciated

    @Richard: I use the colors always very thinned, I apply lights and shadows in many many slight glazes.
    Starting with large areas and gradually going to shrink, up to the extreme shadows and lights.
    At the end I make one or two glazes to all with very very very thinned base color. This is useful for "softening" contrasts.
    I hope I explained well enough and that you understand my bad (and mad!) english.:confused:
    Otherwise ask... I'll try again;)

    Ciao

    Excellent work. Even blue eyes with a reflective dot in 54mm yet. Best I can do is a black dot. Bravo
