Italian standard bearer, 1859
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.
The figure is casted in resin, and is almost perfect, with very tiny imperfection to spot and fill/sand.
Is the first time I paint a figure sculpted by Mariano and I have to admit that was a great fun.
I hope you like it.
Ciao
Giovanni

Sono lieto di lanciare ufficialmente, per il secondo anno, la campagna, "Passione per la vita".
Come saprete, se leggete il mio blog, ho scolpito un soldatino raffigurante un fante italiano, durante la prima spedizione coloniale italiana in Africa nel 1885.
Il soldatino è stato meravigliosamente dipinto dal mio caro amico Stefano Lancioni ed è ora pronto per essere acquistato da tutti voi.
