Sorry my mistake. Can someone of the moderaters change the header into Stromtroopers instead off CGS. Get into my trashbin and it whas from Grenadierminiatures and is indeed sculpted by Moz

Now Marc you know what I'm going to say ........ yes ..... the red's a bit shiny in the photo
The only real observation on what I think is a cracking piece is that the colours on the hose tops seem very stark, perhaps a couple of very light washes to tone it down a bit.
This remains one of my all time favourite figures and you've done it justice.
Cheers

Edited Marc.
Very nice.
Did you varnish the red?

ziet er mooi uit Marc, voor een lastig figuur. Wat anderen schrijven, misschien hier en daar te glanzend.
looks nice Marc, for a difficult figure. What others write, maybe here and there to shiny.

try to shadowed the red colour the next time with a mix of green and red ...

Ben, ze zijn een beetje de gek aan het steken met het rood. Heb gereageerd op een figuur van Piotr. Een romein die echt een zeer glanzende mantel had. Er was al een opmerking over geplaatst. Maar op mijn bericht ging die helemaal uit zijn stekker en werd zeer persoonlijk.
Dank je voor het commentaar. Hij is absoluut mat, maar de fotolampen geven een glanzend beeld.

Thanks Derek and Carl.
I can promise you guys that the red is as matt as it should be. The photolights give it a shiny thing.
But I know what you mean.......

Based on a Fenton photograph I believe, Excellent brush work.

Ha Marc, ja soms is fotograferen nog moeilijker als schilderen...Ik wist van jouw commentaar op Pjotr niet af. Commentaar geven mag toch?
Succes verder...

Hello Marc,
Excellent work on a very demanding figure, as for the red i think that is the curse of the Centurion.. who haunted your pictures.
Congratulations!!!

Hi Marc,

This is great. For me the tartan is extremely well done as is the base as well as the rest of the figure.

Hi Marc,

I have pondered for a large amount of hours , if I should write anything , or just ..let it go. But I cant let it go. So here it is(copyright Curse of the Centurion)

I am a person that...........really likes this, as Grant said the tartan is extremely well done, don't listen to those others about the red mate, they are only baiting you.
Anyway you could always spray it with Dullcote

cheers
Richie

Fantastic figure and beautifully painted.
I wonder why there was only a limited production run.

Thanks to all of you.
That red Roman cloak will follow me for years.

I should be honest: the kilt is oversprayed with Testors Dulcoat

Marc,

very nice work on the tartan kilt and also on the hose, which can be a bugger to paint. Overall a very good job mate.
