I’ve purchased a few figures on-line recently – one of which arrived today from Paderos in Germany who, by the way offer a great service, packaging and shipping etc.  Entitled “Valentina” (as opposed to Valentino – I wonder why?) it’s a rather saucy metal figure from the “Pegaso Girl”  range and well up to the usual Pegaso casting and detail standard.   In the interests of decency I will of course avert my eyes when I paint this figure – Doh!  This will ensure I take absolutely no pleasure from the process – well what else can I say!!!!    This figure is destined for both the Valentino Rossi and “Pit Babes” Categories on my Blog – so keep a watch out for her and one or two others of the same ilk who will be joining her there – just as I write this last sentence,  I can already hear the shouts of derision and disgust coming from the female fraternity – no harm intended – it’s merely meant as a bit of harmless fun!!
