Hope you like the pictures as Francesco has made the Paul Hicks sculpts really come alive. I jsut wish I could paint like that…………..

Beautifully done, very animated figures.

Excellent work.
I think there are many people who wish they could paint like that. Me included!!

I wonder wich paint you used for the perfect Polish crimson.

Ray,

Francesco uses Andrea paints and some Vallejo's. I assume there may be one listed there, or it could come from the Andrea red set.

Lovely – I wish he would commission one or two more cantering horse options though.

Nice…bumped the saturation up a bit too much, I think.

Photography of 28mm figures is a nightmare. You want depth of focus, so you need loads of light and long exposure, with highest f your camera does. That means glare and shine off the mattest surface. White balance all you want, that shading that looks great in daylight, looks like tiger stripes across the legs, in a photo.

Then you try to correct with Photoshop…….I do agree with you jeffreyw3, but have much sympathy for the painter, who clearly is very skilled indeed

Agreed deadhead!
