I can't wait to see the whole band together, so paint my friend

Thank you, Remco, both for fixing the post and for your encouragement.

Thanks, huib. Now you can imagine why it takes me so long to paint each of my figures, always striving to achieve the most perfect result possible.

And I like that you also appreciate my figures' painting style, which has already made them unmistakable in the forum.

Thank you, Enrico and Jan. Yes, the work continues, although, for the reason I explained to huib, not at the rapid pace that I and everyone else would like.

When painting the last figure, the drummer, I had to do a lot of research on the colours of the drum, as they change from one reign to another and even within the same reign. Thanks to the images I found on the internet and the photos I took myself, I was able to choose the design I considered most appropriate.

The first picture shows the drums with the design from the reign of Juan Carlos I (with his own royal coat of arms and blue background). The second shows the design from the early years of the reign of his son Felipe VI, and the third shows the most recent design, which is the one I finally used:

Santi, it's nice to seethe "originals". Your figure captures the look well.

BTW have you thought about the background you'll pose your band on?

Thanks so much, Donald. Always trying to do my best.

Although I already have the base designed, the truth is that I still have so much left to finish the diorama that I hadn't even thought about adding a background when I will take photos of it.

But now that you mention it, I've been doing some tests with CapCut, the editor I use to make my YouTube videos, using its free AI feature to change backgrounds, and the results haven't been too bad. Here's the test I did. Above is the original image and below is the one with the background I added (the Royal Palace of Madrid):




It's nothing compared to the wonders Stephan (sberry) achieves, but I'm satisfied with it.
