A bit more, I think the cloak will look ok once shaded & weathered. The chariot is getting there.

 

[harrytheheid]

That cloak looks pretty good to me Matt.
I'm interested to see what you're doing with the yolk for the horses.
CORRECTION - just realized the entire chariot sub-assembly is upside down in your photo.

Matt

Good on you for that cloak , impressive work , like you say once shaded etc will look even better

Like the pattern on the wheels as well

[MattMcK.]

Thanks, though I'm having my doubts about my color scheme. I need to damp it down a bit.

 

[Nap]

Hi Matt

I agree with you it looks too bright and new but weathering etc will help

Look forward to more

When I lament my slow pace on this project my wife reminds me that this is supposed to be fun . That said, I’m slowly having fun...

 

[harrytheheid]

Huh, if that's what you call slow progress, then what's happening with my stuff must be glacial....
I really like what you're doing with both the Chariot and the Icini Queen.
I also note the progress on the 2HP motive power.

Cheers

Working on a standing stone and raven for the background. More work to do on the bird...

Just starting on this one, planned as a dio with the chariot chasing a Roman through a ford. There will be a good sized tree on the small hill near the scout. Let’s hope I can do it justice!

Boudica herself is finally assembled; I need to go back over her to clean up a few spots and unify things a bit. The trim on her dress needs some attention, among other things. I need to think about shading her woad, too, though I dread it. She’ll get some pastel weathering/dust once I get the whole shebang onto the base.

A few of the stone and raven:

Very nice. I’m enjoying this build Matt.

That face you make when you need to drive the Romans out again... First pass over Boudica’s charioteer, face & trews.

 

[MattMcK.]

Our charioteer is almost ready!

 

[MattMcK.]

The lovely couple.

 

[harrytheheid]

That's phenomenal progress Matt.
Well done....

So thinking about composition here. Any input would be appreciated. I’ve added the stone and raven, and a nice Celtic warrior from Nuts Planet. I couldn’t pass up the Roman helmet and skull on his staff. At this point I’m married to where the Roman and the chariot are, but everything else is moveable. The tree is a place holder too, so that can go. I could even re-do the base itself, I suppose. Any thoughts about better arrangement?
