Hey guys, haven't been painting much lately due to my work, finally got around to finish this very old kit that I purchased at the MFCA.
Please forgive the poor quality of the pictures.

Cheers

Hi Roc
You must not small things like "work" interfere with your painting!LOL
Seriously I like this figure especially the "metals" what did you use?
That shield must have been a challenge!
Look forward to others

Roc,

Your "usual superb", my friend. The metal is stunning!

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you like the way it turned out.

Paul and Normo, for the armor I used the following procedure:

a) Brushed the armor with a swuede brush.

b) Burnished the armor 000 steel wool.

c} Washed it with warm water and Ivory dishwashing detergent,make sure you
you rinse well.

d} gave the the armor numerous controlled washes of Ivory black mixed
with turps.

e} When dry I burnished the extreme highlight points with the end of a knitting
needle.
f} weathered the bottom half of the armor with a wash of raw Umber. Did not
apply sealer beacause I wanted a tarnished look.


Cheers
Roc.
