If the first, all my congratulations, this is really a master piece in line with the Russian school of figurine painting .......

Michel I did do a article for the US junior team on how I painted the 30mm Henry Tudor flat.. I am not to sure if I kept the article.. I have one on FigureMentors on the Axeman flat shown here.. Documenting 30mm flats is fairly hard..for painting detail I always thicken my oil paint with Windsor Newton Liquin.. Let it set a few hours before it dries.. I then have better control over the paint.. I can paint very fine detail with the thicker paint.. Give me time and I will see about re doing a small article
on painting detail especially Herardry

Rick, I would love to read you on this !!! I am attempting to improve the quality of painting in 30mm, but not quiet easy ...

I read your article on Axeman three weeks ago, excellent description indeed ..... !! I will go back to it.

Hello Rick,

I missed also Kulmbach in 2017.... triple bypass in Turkey 10 days after my last email below, on 10 June 2017 ..
I did not go in 2019 due to family reasons, but I am now setting a 30 pictures gallery on Kulmbach 2019 with pictures of your paintings, they are absolutely astonishing !

Need to focus on your comments and technique to improve my 30mm, as it becomes more and more a passion even on my age ....

Michel
