I like this guy a lot. The eyes look very nice. Great work.

Perfect eyes, great paintwork.
May I ask why you did paintchipping on the helmet. This Imperial Gallic Helmets where made of iron with brass decorations.

Very nice work on this bust, I love the eyes and the weathering on his armour, gives him a battle weary look. My only comment is that the sash below his chest is a bit bright compared to the rest of the kit and tends to drag your eyes away from the beautiful work you have done on the face, a very small critisisim though.

Looks very nice. Well done sir.

Beautiful job and I really like the armor, it looks like he's seen many battles!

I agree with the comments of others. If you allow me a little critic, I see the fur of the wolf is a little bluish, or is it the photo?

Hi all, thank you for all of cmts.

Mike, thank you so much

Marc, I'm trying to paint a well experienced officer, hence I added a lot of weathering. It is too over?

Ben, u are right, let me do some fin tune on this sash, tks cmt!:lol:

Meizi, thank you & welcome sir!

Mary, thanks. Thats wht I want to express

Edorta, Forget me haven't do color tune in the photo, it's partial to blue.
The fur s/b in grey tone with little bit blue only.

In my humble opinion you can only weather bare iron not shiny, and with rust marks.
The brass is instead off shining matt and greenish.....
I like what you tryed to achieve, but it looks paintchipping as on a AFV.

Hi Marc,

I got what u meaning, thank you for yr kind opinion.
Seems this is a difficult topic of the weathering on shinny iron/ brass for me, let me try & practice on next figure.

Hi Håkan, thank you of yr cmt, my Sweden’s frd
