Excellent work Anthony. I have a series of 4 Native Americans by Metal Models and they are fun to do.

Hi Anthony
Excellent work, I have dabbles in flats and believe me they have a habit of becoming very addictive! and the range of periods and scales is vast
Good luck with your next one
Cheers
John

Anthony, Nice work. Flats are a welcome departure from rounds to be sure. I think it also makes for a more creative process as you are dealing with a piece that is just in relief, so the rules of shading and highlighting are a bit different. I'm sure anyone with an art background in painting or illustration will/would enjoy them.~Gary

Hey Anthony
Definately much better in the flesh mate, just great
try taking a picture of it on a black background, see if that brings the colours out better

Excellent first effort Anthony. I tried my fist one about 2 years ago and hugely enjoy them as a change from round figures every so often. Well done.

Anthony,
nice work. I think he truned out quite nice over all. I keep seeing these flats and keep getting closer and closer to just cuttin' loose on one! You may have made my mind up for me! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks again fellas. Dave, you're very kind cheers, I will re-do the photo.
Jay, don't hesitate - you'll do one and wonder why you waited this long!
Jean Paul I paint in Windsor & Newton oil paints. The white were different. I use when painting 'white' different colours.
Pour example, when I did the front of the tunic, I did it in the lightest possible brown I could get away with, then on the straps I used the lightest possible grey I could get away with. This does two things - it emphasises the notion that the things are made from different materials, and also gives you somewhere to gofor highlights - when I do actually use white itself. Hope this helps - let me know if you need any clarification.....
