Marco, this is excellent. Horse rider and shield all combine into a fantastic job.

The best compliment I can pay you that I never fancied this kit until now. You have changed my mind mate.

well done indeed.

WOW just WOW! This is superb painting and the best completed example I have seen of this figure. 10/10 from me Marc!

@ blind Pew : thanks. I also useed to dislike this kit for a long time , and suddenly I had to paint it... I do not know why... odd?

That is some wonderful painting. Great job. The shield is exceptional. I wonder how did you manage to keep all the symmetry so well.

 

[Marco22]

@ Piotrec; thanks... I used a small rigid plastic template, and wrote paper pen dots on the base coated shield, then it was easy to assemble the dots together to give an even shaped circle.

I have this in my Grey Army, and after I seen your's it will stay there for a while. You put the latter very high with your paintwork.
Gonna look very closely to it at Sevre.

@steve : thanks
@Marc : great if you get to Sèvres (not going to Montreux ?)

 

[Tecumsea]

Superb painting Marco and nice to see that you are part of the "Oil" club. Just goes to show what can be accomplished with this medium. Look forward to seeing this at Sevres in a couple of weeks.

[Tecumsea]

I've just consulted my French Dictionary Come and say hello, I'll be on the SK Miniatures stand (old geezer with a Planet Figure Badge)
I'll be interested in how you achieve the flat finish on your oils!? I've heard so many ways of doing it but am always interested.
