Ciao a tutti, Long time ago, I had dinner with my friend Stefano Borin and he gave me, as a present this wonderful 30mm flat standard bearer. It took me a long time, but I finally managed to finish the figure. Is painted entirely in oils over a black primer and acrylic base for the white. I loved the painiting process, and I hope you like the result. Ciao Giova...

Life is getting along and I didn't have much time for modelling On top of that I'm actually helping the guys at Auriga publishing with their magazine Soldatini. I'm putting together all the best artists around to make the best figures magazine available. On of the exciting news I was working on is...

Ciao a tutti, Has been a while, but I've been busy with work and life. I have finished this  piece, I painted the figure and my friend Vittorio Arena built and painted the Sherman wedge. We have tried to reproduce the same atmosphere of the original picture, and I hope you think we did it. I did use, as usual, acrylics for fabrics, oils for skin...

Ciao a tutti, This is one of the last figures I've painted. Is a limited edition figure produced by the forum www.figurinitaly.com sculpted by Mariano Numitone.

Is the first time I paint a figure sculpted by Mariano and I have to admit that was a great fun. I...

Ciao a tutti, I've finished this little gem, has been an absolute pleasure to paint this little bust. I used this bust to experiment few techniques and new colour schemes. I highly recommend this JMD's bust, I've found the sculpture amazing especially the face. The only flaw is that is completely missing any historical or uniformology information, finding info on...

Ciao a tutti, Here I'm again with this nice JMD bust. I've almost completed the torso, I just need to finish the gold shoulders patches. The jacket has been made using a stippling technique, using various shades to depict the "english uniform" going from sunny skintone to black. Has been a nice experience and I think I will try it on other busts as well. Calvin...

Ciao a tutti, Has been long time since I've updated my blog. Many things are happening, the biggest one will be revealed soon. For the time being I'm painting this splendid bust from JMD, should be a fairly quick painting for my standard. The sculpture is amazing, particularly the face. Flesh tones are done, beard as well, maybe some touch up will be done. Let me...
