Beauty, Roc.

A couple seem a tad out of focus to me. Are you using a tripod? How about few more close ups of the upper torso?

I kinda miss that purple felt back drop, though :lol:

Yoy didn't like my beautiful purple backdrop :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Roc!

Great pics even sans tripod. But if you've got more, post 'em! One of my goals for X-mas break is to finally paint this guy and I'd love to have some more examples of him. Your rendering is wonderful - especially the red.

May I ask how you do your plate armor?

Thanks again for the pics! :lol:

Hello Marc, thanks, I'm glad you like it.
I have a tripod, I was too lazy to use it, I'll use it next time.


Cheers

Roc.

Hello Nancy, thank you very much for the kind words, I will try to post some more pictures this weekend

This is how I did the Armor:

1- a) Brushed the armor with a swuede brush.

Burnished the armor 000 steel wool.

c} Washed it with warm water and Ivory dishwashing detergent,make sure you
you rinse well.

d} gave the the armor numerous controlled washes of Ivory black mixed
with turps.

e} When dry I burnished the extreme highlight points with the end of a knitting
needle.
f} weathered the bottom half of the armor with a wash of raw Umber. Did not
apply sealer beacause I wanted a tarnished look.


I hope this helps,if you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.

That looks GREAT Roc, thanks for the look see. Thats the one you were working on this summer isn't it?

Thanks for the info, Roc! I'll try your method with this piece - your results sure make a case for it! Hey, and when you post those new pics, would you get a nice shot of his armor, please? Cool!

Again, thanks for the help! Most appreciated! (Now back to exam studies... <groan>, I'd rather be surfing pF...)

Thanks again! I really can't wait to get crackin' on this figure.

Great work as always there Roc. That's a really nice figure indeed. What brand is that?? or it's a sculpt of yours? The photos also look great. What camera are you using?

Roc--WHOA! I almost ducked thinking this guy was gonna haul out that broad sword and get me! Nice paint job--very life-like. I like the weathering on the tunic hem & shield--nice touches.
