This is one of the last figures I painted with Humbrol enamels and oil paints.It is a subject made in resin and produced by Warrior.

Thanks friend for your comment.For the snow I used glass beads for sandblasting metals glued with white glue diluted.

Very nice result there, Luigi.
Painting and groundwork are excellent! Going to try your method for snow, looks the business.
All the best,
Gary

Luigi,

What a chilled atmosphere you achieved !
I like a lot the dust on the bottom of the coat and the very nice rendition of the snow.
If you allow me to make one comment: mabe the folds of the coat, on the front and left side seem a little bit too white for me, whereas the fold on the right side seems to be better blended.

Best,
Julien

Thanks guys for best comment.Thanks Julien maybe there is a little difference, and is emphasized by photograph and also because they did not want to create a mirror effect with a painting equal on both sides.

Cheers

Hey Luigi, great looking figure. Very nice coloring for that cold look. So well blended together. It looks as if he is wondering what the hell is he doing here instead of home by a warm fireplace with his family.
