Officer, 42nd black watch, Crimea 1854

Officer, 42nd black watch, Crimea 1854

A few months ago I was asked to paint a new boxart  for a piece of 120mm. This time it was for the British brand Grenadier Miniatures. And it was a special challenge for me, because it was the first time I was going to paint a kilt, with a tartan pretty complex in my opinion as is the Black Watch! To this should be added the difficulty of the size of the piece, as on a smaller scale would be easy to hide a mistake in the squares …...

Testing the Scale75 black primer

Testing the Scale75 black primer

That entry is to share my experience of testing on one of the latest products from Scale75, it’s the black primer. At the beginning, this product was created for use with the airbrush, but as you can see it also works with the brush … and with very good results! The main qualities of this primer are its fine pigment (which helps fine details don’t be covered) and its absolutely matt finish. This helps to the paint for a...

Old friends

This idea was born several months ago, in November 2012. We’re in Monte San Savino (Italy) and Piqui and I were brainstorming  for a new project that followed the line of the elephant scene. And that’s when we found an illustration that caught our attention and that we used as inspiration for this new idea. Once again, we make an unconventional scene and  far away from the warmongering normally can see. A scene at the same...

Touareg warrior, second half XIX sec.

Touareg warrior, second half XIX sec.

A few months ago I received a commissioned on this figure. The truth is that I was pretty scared at first, but the size and complexity of the piece. The figure was manufactured by the Italian brand Romeo Models and was sculpted by Victor Konnov (a sculptor whose work I particularly like). A piece that was released a long time ago, but superb quality. The scale is 75mm, so you can imagine the size and weight of the dromedary! A piece very...

AMT2013 contest. Review

AMT2013 contest. Review

This last weekend was held in the Valencian town of Torrent, the AMT contest. A veteran competition and with a level proven in previous editions … but is this time has left me very mixed feelings. On the one hand the joy of returning to an environment that I particularly like, with a comercial area that was unrivaled nationwide (so far) and especially to see old friends, with each talk is a joy. And this year I haven’t...
