Mongol Warrior, 14th century - Elite Miniatures 70mm

[Guy]

In between painting for several collectors I squeeze in a figure for myself now and then. I choose one of my favorites and 3rd time painting this figure, a 70mm Elite Limited Edition sculpted by Julian Hullis.

I wanted to do something different with the bow case and quiver so I decided to do them as though they were made from different hides and sewn together to make the respective cases.

All comments welcomed.

Well done

Good morning Guy,

I have been a little quiet of late due to work & family committments. Just wanted to let you know that the Mongol looks outstanding. I think the hood and overcoat look realistic. I also the base you have displayed it on (you have thought that base through well my friend).

A job well done ..... Ciao for now

Guy,

Amazing! The texture of the tanned hide really shows through. To Jay's point, I just returned from NYC for a long weekend and you produce this!
I cannot wait until I can retire and focus on painting. Truly outstanding Guy.

VERY nice!!!

just out of curiousity (and I suspect I already know the answer )... did you texturize the areas to show as hides and then paint or is that strictly paint?

Or will only your hairdresser know for sure??

Thanks for the look... VERY NICE

Thanks for the kind words Kim and Kevin.

Kevin ~ I would have to have hair......to need a hairdresser...

The texture was done with the dry-brushing technique using semi-dry enamel with a flat edged brush applying in one direction to simulate hair / roughness. This technique works well on horses.
