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 tones and leathers.
Hope you like it.
Ciao

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

Ciao a tutti,
Questo post sarà scritto in italiano ed inglese.
This entry will be written in english and italian.
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.
Quest'anno la cifra raccolta andra all'associazione "Potentialmente" per la costituzione di
un fondo patrimoniale che verrà utilizzato per sostenere i minori, ospiti delle case-famiglia,
nei loro percorsi formativi e professionali favorendone lo sviluppo di
attitudini e competenze.
Su www.p4l.it
potrete vedere le foto del master in costruzione e del pezzo finito, ma
soprattutto potrete ordinarlo, sono stati stampati 150 pezzi, non lasciatevi scappare il vostro.
I am pleased to officially launch, for the second year, the charity project "Passion for Life".
As you know, if you read my blog, I modelled an figure depicting an italian soldier during the First colonial expedition in Africa in 1885.
The model has been beautifully painted by my dear friend Stefano Lancioni and is now ready to be purchased by all of you.
This year, the founds raised will go the association "Potentialmente" to set up a capital fund that will be used to support children guests of the foster homes in their educational and professional careers, encouraging the development of skills and competencies.
Go to www.p4l.it and see the photos of the master, the finished piece, and order one of the 150 pieces available, do not miss yours.

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 the net is not so easy as well..
I hope you like it, let me know what you think.

Ciao a tutti,
After a looong period I've finally managed to finish this figure, one of my old passion a napoleonic figure.
I've to thank many friends who helped me finding the right documentation to make the piece as historical accurate as possible.
Let me know what you think.
Ciao

Ciao a tutti,
anche quest'anno ho intenzione di rinnovare l'iniziativa benefica iniziata lo scorso anno.
Per quest'anno ho scolpito un soldato coloniale italiano con l'uniforme adottata durante la prima spedizione del 1885.
A breve il soldatino sarà spedito per essere riprodotto in metallo e rinnoverò il sito www.p4l.it dove potrete acquistare il soldatino e leggere tutto sull'iniziativa e consultare la storia ed uniformologia relativa.
Spero il pezzo vi piaccia e spero potremo, tutti insieme, rinnovare la splendida iniziativa dello scorso anno.
Grazie
As last year, I've decided to start a new charity project.
This year, I've sculpted an italian colonial soldier with the uniform used during the first expedition in 1885.
In the next few days the soldier will be sent to be cast in white metal.
I will also renovate the www.p4l.it website, where you can read more about the charity, the history, and to be able to buy the figure.
I really hope you like the piece and that, all together we can do something good thanks to our shared passion.
Ciao
Giovanni
