A well-respected American painter & collector once remarked to me that flats represent "the world's cheapest fine art". <br /><br />I'm biased of course, but I think there's more than a little truth to that. The thing that strikes me about these old 19th Century figures is that the designers and engravers lavished such care on toys destined to be covered by sloppy paint. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Steve Corporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482289045943530612.post-16237916241883693532013-03-01T00:35:46.552-08:002013-03-01T00:35:46.552-08:00Superb animation in these sculpts and greatly enha...Superb animation in these sculpts and greatly enhanced by the quality of the painting.<br /><br />Best wishes, BrianBrian Carrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221659266588227029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482289045943530612.post-43276735754767272202013-02-28T10:36:21.509-08:002013-02-28T10:36:21.509-08:00Thanks very much, Simon.

Have to put more thought into color choices but the variety helps keep tedium in check.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Steve Corporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482289045943530612.post-69024803723080263962013-02-28T09:26:56.889-08:002013-02-28T09:26:56.889-08:00They are all very nice, but the robe on the top gu...They are all very nice, but the robe on the top guy, is fabulous.
