Diego has sent me the photos of his finished French Officer - Italian Campaign

















Beautiful work Diego.........thanks for the pics.

Diego,

I can only agree with Guy. Beautifull work. I like the weathered look, damage on the coat etc.
Real lifelike.

Very very nice. What a great recreation of Rocco's painting.~Gary

Diego's work gets better and better. I like this new phase in his painting - the last few Romans are amazing - as is this piece. His faces are looking very real. Very crisp painting, in spite of the battered look. Great job.

Neil

I´m glad you like it, folks.
Neil, maybe that the "new phase" is due that I´m not the Diego that you are thinking on? . I haven´t painted a roman long time ago .

Diego

Hm
I wished I can paint any day like that.

Pete, is 1:32 scale (aprox. 54mm).
Thank you Xenofon.
Ciao Mariano, grazie tante.

Diego

Diego,
outstanding work! The weathering and wear on the clothing is perfect. I really like seeing the piece live like this and show wear and tear. Great stuff!

Definately a nice piece of work. Diegohas richness in his painting and the piece really comes alive . Bravo

This is truly excellent. Very creative and effective interpretation. I feel his hunger and exhaustion!

Hola Diego,
La figura es muy llamativa, por la postura y la escultura, pero donde sacaste este senor?
Si es un oficial, no me suena la mochila ... y las dos charreteras oro con pelo fino (que me parecen un poco pequenas) son igualmente faltadas. Hasta el grado de jefe de batallion llevaban una charretera con pelo a l'ombro izquierdo y una charretera sin pelo a l'ombro derecho. Mayor y coronel si que llevaban dos charreteras, pero con pelo gordo, no fino.
Un saludo
