Fantastic job... My favourite of your work I've seen. Very rich colours, the braid looks great, really like the shade of red you worked up for this guy.
I really dig the groundwork as well... to old pier and the huge rope... perfect!
While I may be more knowledgeable on the ancients, I just really enjoy painting the Napoleonic uniforms. Thankfully I've got all the people here to help me out with the historical side of the figures.
