Thanks David, I'm sure I'm not the only Planeteer who's excited at the prospect of seeing how you'd tackle this figure. You've certainly inspired me emough times, so it's a pleasure to return the favour.
Hi Keith, thanks for your comments mate. I'm not sure if the colour scheme is historically accurate but I thought the blue and white scheme would make a nice change from the usual black/ dark brown versions. Given the difficult times some of our Greek Planeteers are experiencing at the moment, I also thought the Greek national colours were an approriate and inspiring choice.
Thanks Mike, the freehand design on the shield was a good example of "making it up as you go along". I didn't really know how to do the design, so I just began painting and hoped that a plan would emerge while I was doing it. Thank fully I chose a relatively simple pattern, so once I worked out the process, it was simply a matter of a steady hand and keeping the spacings even.
