Il Piccolo

Asides from the pond diorama and the Indiana Jones vignette (still in progress) I have been busy with various other figures, some that i haven't chosen to publish on the regular forums or blog.
One such figure is a gnome(Art. 1103), 1/3 scale from the Italian figure company Elisena.
I don't have any type of procure with figures, I am attracted to ones that trigger my imagination or ones that will give me an opportunity to try out some new techniques.As a beginner, I need all the practise I can get.
So the working title for the following figure will be Il Piccolo !!
Roughly 54mm in height, this wee fellow is very detailed. The only downside from this figure is his eyelids aren't that well defined which has made paining around that area very difficult.
He was already primed a week or two ago, and with a few hours to spare last night while my wife was out I made a start on the fleshtones.
As usual I work with Andrea acrylics for the flesh tones, clothing with Vallejo acrylics.
