Chiesa, Fiorentina

It's Fiorentina Friday!

That's a thing, right?!

Ok, so really I'm just posting this cos I had a look through my repaints album and noticed this was the only Fiorentina figure I hadn't posted here.

I'm gonna out and say that purple is a pain in the backside to paint!! I've only ever found gloss purple in the humbrol range, and when I try to mix it myself, it takes ages and is pretty difficult to get right. 

This kit was ok; maybe could have done with being a bit brighter. I'll be keeping an eye out for options. Fortunately, I don't get many purple orders!

Batigol, Fiorentina

I've previously posted 2 Fiorentina repaints.

Here's the next one.

Gabriel Batistuta, in his Fiorentina days. 

I think I'm right in saying this is a remodel, but it was actually sent to me like that.

Gilardino and Mutu, Fiorentina

I've done 4 Fiorentina repaints recently.

I've already posted some of them on my Facebook page, but these are the first 2 on my blog. Keep your eyes peeled for the others!

I've posted these two together as due to being in the same kit (in shirt number order, of course!)

Purple is often a difficult colour to mix and in the brand of paint that I use, I've only seen it in gloss, it ended up ok here, I think.

I like how clearly the badges stand out on these repaints.
