Hi to all, I started to paint a commissioned work sculpted by Dan Morton. The figure is a russian cossack lancer on horse of 1915. All comments welcome.

The horse too, is almost finished.

Marvelous, Eduardo! The pinkish white around the horse's mouth is excellent and makes it look more realistic, but the whole black and white scheme is great! The Cossack face and uniform are perfect!

All the best,
Dan

I really like this figure, Eduardo. Heaps of character with that expression and the hat on a jaunty angle.
Horse looks great too, very nice work mate!

Thank you very much, Dan and Nick. Here go better photos of the rider.

This is why I am not a painter! I would never have thought to shade and highlight the pennant!

All the best,
Dan

Dan is really a great sculptor and eduardo an amazing sculptor !

Merci, Rigaud, mais je suis vraiment un mauvais sculpteur.

"Dan is really a great sculptor and eduardo an amazing sculptor !"

Great sculptor...Very kind of you, but I'd just say good enough most of the time. And what Eduardo said.

All the best,
Dan

Lovely combination this gentlemen.
Character rider,
Well chosen horse colour, different with overpowering the plainly dressed rider.
Really well executed painting (as usual) from eduardo
Looking forward to the finished assembly and basing.
Paul

I think your combination of sculpting and painting is excellent.

Eduardo pequeño error, que quería decir pintor.
Pero un muy buen pintor es con frecuencia un muy buen escultor.
Michelangelo, por ejemplo.

Looking good so far - he just needs to mount up!

Mike

Lovely piece of work Eduardo

very good work.

Marc

Thank you very much Rigaud, I agree about Michelangelo, but it is not my case.
At this moment I only use the epoxy to do small changes in some figures, but I´m not able to sculpt a complete soldier. Maybe one day... who knows. No time enough for all.
