Pegaso Celtic Standard Bearer

[Guy]

This is another figure that is also very well sculpted and fun to do. Not sure what I am going to do with his cape yet but will post when I get to it.

Guy,

This one is looking nice as well. I like the shirt and the stripes. Keep it up.

This one looks familiar, only mine isn't that well painted You can do a tartan on the cape as you haven't used any on the rest of the figure?

Keep showing us the progress on this on too please.

Best wishes,

Gino

That looks really good, Guy. Just out of curiosity, what does Pegaso put as a date for that Celt?

 

[Shane]

guy,

I'd also be interested in knowing how you did the bronze, it looks real convincing.

[Guy]

Thanks Shane,
The Pegaso is dated 1st Century BC The Bronze was done with a Humbrol Chocalate base coat with Floquil Brass dry-brushed lightly over the base coat so that some of the chocalate still shows through.

Thanks Guy,

I wonder if I could replicate that technique using acrylics as a base and printer's ink?

I like this figure, have to pick it up.

FWIW, Pegaso's date is wrong for this particular Celt. This is a much earlier Urnfield proto-celt or early Hallstatt period Celt.

That technique should work as well Shane. Especially the base coat. I have never used printer's inks, so I can't tell you much there.
