Achilles

[Koffing]

Hi guys,
one of my last works...the bust of Young Miniatures depicting Brad Pitt as Achilles in Troy movie.
I try some new techniques for the gold metal parte of the armure, using printer's ink and oil colors (pointed and not blended). At the end, some washes with Tamiya clear colors (orange and yellow).
Hope you like it
Massimo

PS
difficoult to take good photo with this shiny surfaces...sorry!

Excellent colours on the metalwork. I like the shield too. Great work.

Wow Massimo, your technique for the metals is impressive and very nice. But if you allow me a suggestion the excess of brightness, give to the armour and helmet a like-glass effect.
Maybe better with a matte finish?

Metal work is superb and gives a perfect feel to the figure.

Great looking piece - very believable flesh tones - the metal colors also look right!
