CONCLUSIONS

I would say that in this topic I’ve added even too many irons in the fire, and when re-reading I realized that, due to my disability to describe and to the complexity of the piece itself, in some parts it is not very clear. The people who are still at the beginning will probably find that too many things are taken for granted, and thus might not fully understand some passages. I apologize in advance for this, I am anything but an ordered painter, and it is therefore not easy for me to make me a real step-by-step.
On the one hand because I have no pictures of the WIP, which would certainly help explaining certain steps, on the other because I often work randomly and it is difficult for me to report neatly.

As always, more than trying to offer a perfect recipe, which doesn’t exist if not for each painter in his/her own way, I tried to give some flexible suggestions, which I hope will serve as food for thought when working on a miniature of this type.

As usual there is nothing final or absolute in this "tutorial"; therefore I ask you to help me with your comments and your questions if you want to expand it, to better understand which parts are unclear and which may be unnecessary.
Due to lack of time I couldn’t discuss with you while painting the piece, but I would like to have this exchange now, in retrospect.

Before closing I do some special thanks:

To the friend Luca Masetti that helped me at every stage of implementation of this miniature with feedback and criticism when necessary, but always believing in what I was doing. The "great painter"! Thank you! ! !

The good Tomazsus: I patiently translated into English this article (except for this part that i translate alone, you can see??)… I dont have good words to thank you Tom.

To the great Doc, which helped me doing this so cool web page for this little tutorial. But mainly because you teach me every day that you can always be a little children and the wisdom can't not and should never kill the imagination. Thanks.

To the good Emilian Mancini, is an onour to know this work in your collection!

To my "sweet half" Stefania, who endured my fatigue throughout pre-Gd. My first critics, and the first to rejoice with me in everything. Thank you my love, what can i do without you?

And finally, to all of you Legionaries and Friends that with your support, but also with your criticisms have always taught me to expect more from myself, to improve. I am a better person since you are with me. Thanks.

To all of you I dedicate this piece.
