    Absolutely great Alan! Very cool.

    Actually, I have been working on something very very similar recently, so I'm a bit grumpy you are stealing my thunder, but at the same time I am happy that I can study how you handled this.:)

    Cheers,

    Had the pleasure of seeing this in the flesh.
    It's an outstanding piece of modelling and painting.
    The photos, excellent though they are do not show just how good the actual painting is.
    It's one of those 54mm figures that you glance at and then keep coming back to have another look and each time you see details and subtleties that takes it well beyond good.
    Allan has very modestly not mentioned he got gold and a standard Best in Show for this at HvB.
    Cheers

    Absolutely superb, Allan!
    Fantasy painters often play with colour and light, but I love seeing the same techniques (and imagination) applied to historical figures. You have done it brilliantly.

    Congrats on the gold and Best in Show awards, they are very well deserved.

    Hi Nick, John, thanks for the great feedback!

    Hi David, great to meet you in person, loved your work especially the Latorre piece, really great masterpiece.

    Hi Gino, indeed I was at Ghent on 23-24/4. Tried to contact you earlier via Facebook several times unfortunately didn't hear from you. Hope to meet you again next time ;)

    Hi Allen,

    damn, that's a shame to hear. I'm not on facebook, haven't been in years. Lost my password, among other problems. In the future it would be better if you could email me or send me a PM here on the site. Such a pitty, if you wanted we could have a painting jam. I really hope you can contact me the next time you'll be in Belgium.

    How was your stay? were you able to do some modelling related trips over here? I hope you didn't had too many problems at the airport?

    Take care my friend and I hope we'll meet soon,

    Gino

    I was at HVB and seeing it for real was a real joy. I think Del has most eloquently summarised what I wanted to write so I shall say no more ther than this figure is fantastic.
