Verlinden 120MM Union Zouave

Well this is your third paint job on this figure. How do you feel the other attempts compare to this one?. I was taken by the vividness of the red. Is it just the photo or did you try something different?. Another great masterpiece to add to the collection. Do you still have the others to put in a trio picture???

Hi Steve - I used a deeper red, carmine, as a base, which I think helped enrich the upper layers of dark red. The first version on this figure is long gone, and the one before this is in the loft. I think this is the best, though I still think I could do much better.

Running out of adjectives to describe how wonderful your figures are, have you ever thought of selling some of your older pieces (on ebay), you could make a bit of extra cash to fund future purchases ?.

Steve - Thanks very much. I think it would be difficult to sell these via eBay, as it would be well-nigh impossible to transport them without damage. I suppose it would have to be collection only, but as I don't use eBay these days after having my account hacked three times and money taken from my PayPal account, it's all hypothetical.

John and Jim - Many thanks.
