Randy: Very well done as we expect of you. The matte detail is very good.
 
I agree with Tommy, the shading in particular looks very good. But one question, Randy, if I may: what made you order these in matt? No judgement, just asking.

I was curious about how the 4F figures would look in matte in person and I wanted to do an Egyptology scene for the Victorian Era like the new K&C Napoleon in Egypt range. I was inspired by the Amelia Peabody series of books by Elizabeth Peters.

Believe me I was torn between getting them in gloss or matte since I like both styles. I finally decided that I wanted the added level of realism for my photographs.

Read, and loved, the entire Amelia Peabody series and even bought myself that compendium. Great idea and great photo!^&cool^&cool
 
Thank you, Randy. I do of course totally agree with Louis: great idea. And very well executed.
