I'm happy to call this one finished now.

The final addition of the shield has completely obscured all the detail I painted on the back of the surcoat - grrrrrrrrr.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on this thread and offered so many words of encouragement.

Perfect brushwork Tony! The way you painted the textures is so realistic and so are the metals.
Congratulations!!!

The final addition of the shield has completely obscured all the detail I painted on the back of the surcoat - grrrrrrrrr.

But you know it's there, and painted as perfectly as the rest.

Cheers,
