Roman legionarius

[giorgiomalteser]

Just finished this ROMAN LEGIONARIUS Bust from Young Miniatures.

This was not one of the most difficult busts to paint by I still enjoyed every minute of it.

Painted as usual in acrylics and oils.

Comments as usual are always noted and appreciated.

Giorgio
lovely job, the metal finishes look first class.
A bit difficult to get into the detail, background too dark and definition is lost.

Very nice indeed. the metals look real. I whould personally go with a bit more contrast on the reds.

Thank you all for your comments. The paint used for the metals is a mix of Vallejo Natural Steel, Oily Steel and Citadel Chainmail acrylics.
I still have to get the grips of taking good quality photos. Since I don't have enough available light the flash fires and results in unwanted alterations to the result.

Very nice. I like the polished metal finish on the armour.

Very nice paintwork.
I would like to see new pictures without a flash so the metal looks not so shiny.
