As a transitional, kind of 'training' piece, you must be well happy with this. Especially with those skin tones you've achieved. I say that as that's the thing I do find the hardest with acrylics. Everything else, not too bad, but skin.... You've definitely nailed it, no doubt about it.
The kepi needs to change, only quite minor changes though, I'd take those swords off. His belt buckle, too. I believe some belts did change hands and blokes kept the buckle, but to emphasise his allegiance, I'd change it to a CSA one. It's a good figure and would make an interesting project.
Nice one, Bob. Often the stripped & re-painted ones end up being the most satisfying projects in the end. That odd shade of green looks tricky - you've definitely pulled it off, though. A very nice figure indeed. Really good skin tones.
Armour projects? Don't come swearing on here!
Seriously, though, this is excellent. So well painted, all of it, the skin tones, the shield...but that cloak is the star of the show. I like your metal finishes as well. A top project indeed. (y)
Hello guys some more figures from the GA that I don't think I'll ever get around to doing. Also a display base that I don't think I'll ever use. Free postage in the UK, rest of the world at cost price, which I'll work out in due course. Thanks as always. Paypal only, please...

A nice paint job, Malc. It's not as easy as it first looks to paint a figure that is dominated by a single colour. Some sharp painting there as well.(y)
