Hi Stefano, thanks for your words!
the first figure is of the theme of the gladiators - dear to me - and the subject is the modification of an old Apache Amati; sarcophagus, brazier, garden etc.. are scrathbuilt.
Only the figure in painted.
the second figure, except the head - Preiser - is a scrathbuilt.
All my pieces are 75mm

Nice original pieces!

Do you have a means photograph them with a contrasting coloured background like a navy or muted blue grey? (the sandy background makes it harder to see)

it's true, you're right! Tuesday I post all (this and other thread) with navy background!
thanks!

Hello Robert,

Another two very exciting pieces, especially the painted mural on the dais. I enjoy your base presentations which are very neat and precise. I hope to see these pieces finished and in more detail.

Dear Victor apologize again for the photos, which soon will refer, I explain that the "background" is not a painting but a carved sarcophagus.
Thanks for compliments

Buon lavoro Roberto!
