I got Gold at the Duzi with my *Yodleur de Cascades* and my diorama *Good old times* in the first choice category. I know I have already shown them to you, but now you can click on the picture to see them in good size.. :) And that's the really last time I show them, than I finish some new stuff :P
Some of you wanted to know what mini my cousin painted for the Duzi, here is the picture. That's the 3 or 4 miniature he has finished, but he painted it all, by my side. I tried to say him directly all techniques I know and how to hold the brush best, how to make bases.. I think, you learn so much faster, if anybody says you how to do it. He is 12 years old. You will see his new miniatures on the CMON account than, *Jack.Rackham* .
And here is a diorama from me, I never showed pictures of that, a longer time, because they got a very low rating, dunno why, I think it's painted in my best level. Okey I know I don't want to make so many thoughts to CMON ratings.. yeah.. but I can't stop watching my ratings.. shiit :P I am very happy with my wood training machine, it is made of balsa wood and some cord :)

Your little cousin will become a really great painter if he listens carefully to you ;-) Indeed, this is a very impressive miniature from a 12yo.
The diorama's miniatures a painted really good. No doubt on that. Only the base is much too big for those tiny Hasslefree's. Would have been much more interesting by minimizing the size and making a second and maybe third level, not only this flat surface. Just as a hint for the next time. As big as necessary, as small as possible ;-)
Would love to see some more detail shots of the other miniatures at the diorama.
Don't know why, but i love the jester ... :)
Great paintwork from you. And your cousin starts a great career when he paints in this way.
