The palm tree is quite convinving. As is the all ground. Of course you also putted a nice painted figure on top of it.

Excellent work.
Palmtree is great

Marc

Excellent painting and the palm tree is outstanding.

Fabrizio,
Great painting and setting. How about an SBS on the palm tree?

Hi Fabrizio,

Excellent painting. White is perhaps the hardest colour to shadow and highlight and you've handled it superbly. Oh yes, and the palm tree is lovely.

Excellent !
you make me wonder if I shouldn't put more dust on the boots of the figures I'm currently painting

Fabrizio,
Great looking figure and basework!
Especially considering the light colors of the uniform.

Regards,
Marcel.
