Just started this beauty of a sculpt (54mm) by the great Piersergio Allevi.

The setup will be in a cold, snowy environment, hence why I tried to use colder tones on the face which is not done yet.

Next time I will try to take pictures under better light conditions!

That is indeed a beauty of a sculpt, perfect capture of motion in the swirling cape. Lovely piece.
Start of the face looks great.

That’s a good looking figure.

Looking forward to this - I have two of his figures in my stash.......

This will work, love the pose, expression, great start!

Fine and accurate starting.
But where we can find the figure kit? Ther's a site? I can't find it.

A great start and following with interest. I have this in my stash and will start it soon.

If you want to purchase it you can get it driectly from the sculptor Piersergio Allevi, you can find his user profile on facebook. I/we usually order from him via FB messenger.

Refined the face, applied some of the base colors and sketched some shadow, far from done of course. Embroidery will definetly be painted over in a later stage. Pictures attached with better lighting this time

Very fine work.

Do you preshade before assembly? for example inside the cloak. I'm at a crossroads as to which way to go with figures (After 25 years) assemble before painting or paint the assembled figure which seems to be your approach here.

Lovely start and look forward to following-I have most of Piersergio's Allevi's figures in my ever growing stash. They are all Limited Editions (around 180 kits ) but not time limited so you may find it on his Facebook site, message him from there.

Hi Keith,

well it depends on the figure and the general idea of the setup. This time I assembled the parts except for the part and did the zenithal priming (to be honest, it would have been wiser to keep the cloak removable in this case). I usually assemble the figure with only pins and white tack, prime it, then disassemble, this way I still get the general guideline for placing the shadows and lights.

Regards,
Peter

Thanks Peter, guess there is no perfect way but pre-shading seems to be the first step of choice by most painters these days and I suppose construction is dependent on the complexity of the figure.

Thanks for responding.

Keith

I checked this morning and this is still available if you message Piersergio on his facebook site.

Thanks my friend,
Just taken 3 of them including La Marmora from bestsoldiers .

Worked on the cloak and other green parts last week. There is further refinement to be done on the upper half of the cloak.

I am calling La Marmora done for now, further refinement will be done in the final setting. Now on to the horse!
