Another dandy Roger! I like how you handled the colors and their different tones !

Joe

Thanks very much Joe.
Someone on the forum was asking about water soluble oils recently but I can't remember who and which thread but most of the oils used on this fig. are W&N water soluble.

Roger.

Nice one mate , never really looked into these might be something I will look into
Cheers Chris

Thanks very much Chris, have a look at http://www.fredericus-rex.de/ very reliable and top quality figures and service.

A real dandy. A little more light on the figure when you make the photo and I could see a little bit more. You must remember "I am old and my eyes are old"

Thanks very much Ulrich.... too much Bavarian weizen makes you go blind, I don't know how those Scotsmen managed to get home.

Roger.

I fear it was "Guinness" and some other stuff

What kind of person goes to Bavaria and drinks Guinness? and some other stuff!!!!

The person who was on the "Bier-Festival" and had tasted different Bavarian Stark Biers and then visit the Irish Pub "Shamrock" in Ingolstadt

It gets worse! Irish pubs belong in Ireland.

Looks a cracker Rog but it does need light mate I thought he was from the West Indies at first
Steve

Cheers Steve.
It looks fine to me, you must have the same f***ed up eyesight as Ulrich.

Roger.

I'm ignoring the insult to my adopted Bavaria and her beer...

Great finish, Roger, and once again, nice work with your shadows, especially on the buff pieces of clothing. A nice addition to your cabinet!

Prost!
Brad

Thanks very much Brad. There's a few Prussians in that cabinet now.

Did you adopt Bavaria or did it adopt you?

Roger.

Looks really nice. I've tried the Winsor Newton water based oils and I didn't like them that much. Grumbacher makes a line of water mixable oils that I think are much better. Still like regular oils better though.

Thanks very much.
I initially bought the water mixable oils because I was under the impression that the smell of oils, thinners etc. wouldn't be too popular with the rest of the household as I paint in a corner of the dining room, I now know better and normal oils are creeping into my paint box too.

Roger.

Good work Roger.
Your usual high standard of brush skill.
Very nice.
Keith

Thanks very much Keith.

Roger.
