Ron,Ken,Eduardo and Sam i'm glad you like it.
i use acrylics much more than oils. About the reds, there are 3 different reds in the bust and 2 whites. I chose to do the cape darker than the crest, thanks again for the comments.
This is my latest work the "Roman Cavalry Officer 180 B.C" a figure by Young Miniatures.
Painted in acrylics except from leather stripes (oils) and gold metal parts (printers inks+oils).
Comments always welcome...

John is not my strongest point the painting of the white yet, but i'm working on it.
