We are still in the throes of moving in and my stuff is among those boxes without a home so far. Thus I have been painting a lot of individual figures as they are readily to hand. I have aldo wanted to try to improve my techniques and that is easier to do on single figures.

Shown here is yet another Padre Franco. There will be a number of them in the service of Todos Santos as Frank H. kindly provided a number of them gratis and so it is only fair that they retain his family name! 

I am fairly satisfied with this paint job even though there are some readily discernible errors. One of the things I do not do as well as I would like is highlight to white. My white highlights tend to come out chalkier than I know they should because I thin the paint too much and so the pigmentation breaks down. On the positive dside, I think the highlights did come out better than the last few I have done and I am pleased with the details on the belt and the face. (Trust me, he looks better in person - cameras are not flattering!)

If you have any comments, please leave them here or drop me an email. I have disabled the "captcha" routines on the comments as the images were not showing up and I have not had the time to troubleshoot them yet. I'd be interested in what you think!
