Robert the Bruce (1274-1329)

[Sven]

Dear Planeteers,
this is my version of Robert the Bruce. The bust by DOLMAN Miniatures is wonderfully detailed and of excellent fit. I based the colors scheme on the well-known British stamp. I didn't want to use too bright or artficial looking colors, but rather colors available in the Middle Ages. The red, for example, is more of a reddish brown.
I think Mr. Bruce turned out quite well. Hope you like it. Let me know what you think.
Happy painting everybody.
Sven

Some spankingly good heraldry there. Mail is also well done.
Congratulations

Yes, that heraldry is very nice. And the chain mail looks nice. It all looks great.

Excellent bust and a good decision with the muted and more realistic colour tones.

Beautiful heraldry

Wow mate that is pretty damn awesome. I painted this fella as a flat many moons ago, though the flat itself wasn't much bigger that the image on the stamp. You have nailed this, absolutely love it.

Cheers Simon

That's just brilliant in all aspects.

That's great work, is there a story behind the blue lion on the shield?
