Very nice. The blues look superb.

Thanks very much Grant.
It was painted with W&N Galeria and Artists Acrylics. They dry to a satin finish so wouldn't be very good for "round" figs but I like them for flats.

Turned out well Roger, the nice piece of timber really finishes it off.
Have you tried my cure all, Tamiya X21 to kill the sheen?

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Carl, I use artists acrylics which dry to a satin finish. Personally I prefer his effect on flats. I suppose what I'm trying to say is the sheen is intentional but it doesn't quite look so shiny in real life as it does in photo's.

[Dan Morton]

Very nice! Even to my almost color blind eyes, the turban is a superb contrast of colors.

All the best,
Dan

Thank you very much Marc. That's very encouraging to hear, hopefully we all improve a little with each new piece we paint.

Cracking presentation Roger.
The base (background) really makes the figure 'pop'
