Speechless is an understatement. This is simply awesome and without a doubt, your best work to date Ernesto. There is absoutely nothing (at least that I can see) that's wrong with this figure. Nothing. Wow!

Ernesto,

I have no more to say then the others before me have said.

But i have a question. I really like the colours you used. Can you share them with me/us. For me, some colours i will use on my Marcomanni warrior wich i'm doing at the moment.

Thanks

Marc

The second picture from the side...he looks like he's just going to strike the fatal blow...right out of the picture..!!

He's wonderful..a real trest to look at.

Ernest
Like the others wrote it's really a very fine piece
I like the olors of several materials, the axs looks like real, the leather like real used leather
Compliments on it and I save a couple of pics on my HD as referencepics if you don't mind

Hey Ernesto

Well, what can I say! This is a near perfect example of miniature art - a great balance between realism and artistic creativity.

Certainly the best version of this figure I have ever seen.

So I think it's time you went on a world tour now so we can all get to see your work in the flesh!

Superb!

Rob

Take care,

WoW this is great, I wake up this morning and I saw all this nice comments Thanks to all you guys, I´m very glad that you like this one I hope to take this one to an expo in Europe or US soon...
Now to answer some questions I will give you a short breafing about how I paint the metal parts:
First I painted a base color with Black, English Uniform, Cadm Brown and Metal Grey from Tamiya, for the lights I used washes of English Uniform with some Metal Grey and the highlights with a little bit of ink print, the method to do this is using little charges of paint in the brush (don´t charge to much the brush)...
For the shadows I used some chocolate brown and Black, for the deep shadows only washes of black.
For the Axe I made the same mixture but of course I highlight more the edge of the axe, It´s very important to use the brush as dots, circles or little points to do the texture of rusty metal, that´s´the secret, Try to don´t use too much black color and use it as washes and add colors like English Uniform and Brown to give it more realistic aspect to the metals...
Thanks a lot guys if you have another questions let me know ok....

all the best
