Stunning painting...your version is much more "British" than the original. Well done. The Cameron tartan is superb...

Thank you fabiosem63,glad you like my conversion.

Thank you Pedro. For the red I used Jo Sonja acrylic Napthol light red. Shadows were in Vallejo black red and highlights in Vallejo beige red with small amounts of yellow ochre . For the red leather I used Jo Sonja burnt Sienna and raw sienna. Highlights in Vallejo beige red and shadows in Jo Sonja Prussian blue with small amounts of black. Hope this helps.

Hi John!

Thank you for your answer. Cheers,
Pedro.

Lovely work John - the figure looks hot and sweaty. You've also done a world class job on that tartan.

First class work - lovely painting and the change of head is an improvement on the original. What scale was the Hornet head 54mm or 1/35th?
Cheers

Thank you Mat. I used a Rural Civilian head from set 1 1/35 scale.
