Hi guys, it is a very long while from my last work here posted...so it's time now to post something, I started this figure more less 3 years ago. After having seen the painting of the same figure by Guy , ( in a very beautiful manner i have to say ) , i liked so much this 90mm from Miniature...

great as usual , nice reds and a black absolutely well done...

Hi Janne, very interesting link, there is also the Hedeby-Haitabu hood : http://nvg.org.au/article.php?story=20080429214830673&query=cloak In other sites consider the Orkney hood dating in the viking age ..but this is not a problem.. considering the numbers of hoods find more less in the same...

Hi Janne, yes, may be sagas sometimes could be not historical correct , but it is more for some wrong dates or events never happened , as for the Njall saga the 5° court instead of 4 courts..also we have not to make confusion between drawings and paintings that of course describe contemporary...

Hi Janne, ..ah ah don't worry you may not agree with me of course ..anyway if you look at the viking sagas you can see that hood was a quite common dress , there are several descriptions of men with hoods , take a look for example at the Njall saga and you see... best regards stefano

only one figure but absolutely beautiful John, like a lot the reds and the character of the face , very well done !! cheers stefano

i think this figure has to be very amusing to paint..and you are going great for sure..i like the colours choice and the metal effects are very well done as is the painting of the horse, how do you think to paint the cape, in white ? For the terrain i would go for the autumn pattern.. cheers stefano

Hi Janne , the first figure upper right it is thought to be odin wearing a hood ,in books descripting the viking mythology i read also that Odin usually wears hood when he is wandering near people to hidden himself , also the second figure down left probably wears a hood , the first probably a...

Hi Janne , the sagas very often describe men wearing hoods, there was also a king , Harald greyhood.... this is a hood found in Greenland even if is more less 2oo years later of the viking period, it is thought to be more less the same style the vikings used, we have also examples in some of...

completely agree with you Janne , if we have to depict a poor viking , especially in the early viking period his main weapon would be an axe or a spear with a scramasax as second weapon and not a sword , a fine sword ( the finest were produced in Frankish Germany, for example the Ulfeberth...

Mitsutaka, i think you have not failed painting this figure, you have done a nice job, i like the green of the dressing and you did very well on all the figure and groundwork.. cheers stefano
