    Cheers Ron, I can live with that, it's really the shading I'm interested in. I've been using Viridian but I'm looking for alternatives.

    Yeah, that base kind of "makes" the figure - which is excellently painted - but it's the presentation that really makes it pop.

    Harry this one was in a job lot for sale as part of the grey army of a modeller since pasted on, proceeds going to his widow.
    It just leapt out of the pile into my hands got home and made a base for it right away ,it then jumped to the front for of the ever expanding Que for painting .

    Red always seems to pop out a bit and if you match it with a black base it leaps out :)
    Now on the search for Garibali around 75 mm , and Bersaglieri

    Great job Ron.

    I had one of these but for some reason just couldn't get on with it. Couldn't get a red I was happy with so stripped it down 3 times in total , then bits started breaking off ..... then I just gave up and binned it as it had become a chore.

    You've inspired me to maybe get another one and try again though, because it is a lovely piece.

    Great painting Ron.
    I love the shading, detail and painting of the gaiters or whatever the correct historical name for them is.
    Brilliant work overall.

    masterclass does a Garibaldi on foot (75mm) and one mounted (54mm I believe).
    Beneito does three Bersaglieri at Porta Pia (when Rome fell to the Piedmontese in 1870), but they are 54mm.
