    Hello everyone.
    For this past week I have been thinking do I or don't I.
    Well I weighed up the pro's and con's and decided there are many nice people on here and decided I would post something so that you could see what I have been doing.

    This is a Michael Kontraros 75mm resin kit.
    Painted with oils and acrylics.
    All comments and constructive critique's welcome.
    All the best.
    Ralph.

    Ain't that the berries(y) If you make a comeback you might as well do it with a bang .... and that's exactly what you've done.
    The painting style really suits the subject matter and there's just enough additional groundword to compliment the sculpted base.
    Just one thing surely it's universally accepted that the Greater Carpathian Red had green blood..... you must've missed Attenboroughs recent programme ;)

    Nice to see you posting Ralph. (y) This is a beautiful piece and I have not seen that many painted up, you have done a great all round job on the figure horse and groundwork on a very complex kit.

    Thanks for sharing
